Sports seasons are complete and the only thing remaining for the senior athletes in the area is to walk across the stage and receive their high school diploma.
They’ve spent the last four years representing their schools on football fields, baseball fields, softball fields, basketball courts, tennis courts, volleyball courts and more.
Central won 21 games this baseball season, including its first 12. It was one of the best seasons in program history for the Jaguars. Impressive is one way to describe it.
They lost only four games, two of which came against state powerhouse Pensacola Catholic, which seems to have the talent of a Double A minor league team.
I wish Santa Rosa County would get out of its own way and figure out how to make an aquatics center happen.
Before the Dallas Cowboys win their next Super Bowl would be ideal. Well, on that note, you’ve got some time to get it done.
If you have seen the “Miracle on Ice” movie, you’ll remember the scene where Team USA head coach Herb Brooks has his team basically sprint back and forth on skates after a game for hours on end.
The players would do a sprint and Brooks would yell “again.” It went on for who knows how long.
Lighthouse Christian College is starting a football program. At least that is what I’ve been told from credible sources. And it’s supposed to get rolling this fall.
I also know the program has a coach in place. I’ve been told Ronnie Cottrell will be at the helm.
You are only in high school once. It may seem like, at times, the four years are never going to end, that it takes forever to get from freshman year to senior year.
But the reality is it’s over in the blink of an eye.
Sometimes you get reminders that Disney is right. It really is a small world.
Matt Painter coached his Purdue basketball team to the Final Four earlier this month, marking the first time the Boilermakers have reached that point in the tourney since 1980.
Colleges aren’t supposed to have “closed for business” signs posted on their doors.
But, here we are with the news of another institution of higher learning, Birmingham-Southern, announcing it will close for good at the end of this school year.
I learned last week that a picture of goalposts can sometimes attract a lot of attention.
While over at Central for a track interview, I thought it was cool the goalposts were finally up at the football field. So, I did the 21st century thing, taking a picture and posting it on social media.
