With all the talent Florida produces from an athletic standpoint, you’d think coaches here were some of the highest paid in the nation.
Think again. Florida coaches are underpaid, a lot of times underappreciated, and in most instances, overworked. Coaches in surrounding states tend to make more.

When I originally wrote this column last week, there were openings for the boys basketball head coaching positions at two schools in Santa Rosa County.
But I had to make a few changes as Milton has since filled its void. Navarre’s job is still open but will be filled at some point later this spring.

Baseball and softball in this area seems to be in a great place.
Most of the teams are highly ranked in the region and state and the competitiveness that has been evident is no joke.

I’ve never been one to complain about athletes transferring. I don’t care if coaches jump from one job to another.
Sure, you hate to see it, but it’s part of sports in 2025. The days of staying in one place are long gone in college athletics.

It wasn’t the state weightlifting meet, but it was pretty darn close.
Talented boys weightlifting teams from around Northwest Florida competed at the Navarre Invitational last Wednesday afternoon.

So I took my first trip over to the new track at Pine Forest a couple of weekends ago. Let me just say that I was impressed.
It kind of felt like I was walking into a stadium for the state meet with the way the rubberized track looked as the sun beat down on it. It is indeed a thing of beauty.

Another college announced it will close at the end of this academic year. This time it’s Northland, which is an NCAA Division III school in Wisconsin.
It certainly won’t be the last school to close its doors forever because the reality in this ever-changing small college landscape is that plenty of other colleges are in danger of being shuttered.

Take a look at the results of the girls state weightlifting meet from Valentine’s Day weekend in Lakeland and it’s clear this area still dominates in the sport.

You know how people will search for a YouTube video to help them finish a project or fix a problem?
Well, this column is the print version of a video, only the problem we are hoping to fix has nothing to do with getting a lawnmower to start or how to get a door to close properly.
