Jay’s girls basketball team made it to the doorstep of the state final four a season ago.
The Royals would love to open that door this season. They hope the work they are putting in this summer helps set the stage for it.

Pace head boys basketball coach Houston Ramsay said he doesn’t have a lot of experience on this year’s team.
Yet, there have been promising moments despite that lack of experience as the Patriots get in work during the summer against live competition.
Alyssa Clark was a standout runner for Pace during her high school career.
She’s headed to the next level this fall as she will compete at Bushnell in Oregon. She signed with the NAIA school earlier this year.
Matt Anderson has been coaching basketball for a long time, and earlier this month, he had a chance to see his new team in action.
The Panthers played at a team camp at Pensacola State, and Anderson, in his first year at Milton, likes the way things look early on, though there is always room for improvement.

He’ll now take his talents to the next level after signing with Snead State earlier this year.
Lulu Luedtke could not have asked for a better first and only softball season at Northwest Florida State.
She transferred in from NCAA Division II Anderson, seeking a fresh start closer to home. It turned out to be a great move for the Milton grad.
In his first fight as a pro last October, Cam Bennett didn’t feel too much changed for him.
He trained the same, never cutting corners, and worked hard leading up to the fight, coming away with a dominant victory at Island Fights inside the Bay Center.
