Jay’s volleyball team left Santa Rosa County with a dream as it headed to the state final four Nov. 4.

The Royals are brought back something much more tangible, claiming the first state title in program history last Wednesday afternoon in Winter Haven.

In a game originally scheduled for last month but rescheduled due to Hurricane Isaias, Jay’s football team traveled to Marianna last Wednesday night to face the Bulldogs in their final regular-season game.

Pace’s girls golf team earned a top 10 finish at the Region 1-3A tournament in Gainesville last Tuesday.

The Patriots shot a 362 as a team, with Gianna Dettling leading the way.

Just call the Jay Royals the queens of the court.

They claimed their first state volleyball championship in program history on Wednesday, beating Branford in a five-set battle at Polk State College’s Winter Haven Health Center.

High school basketball will look different this year as the shot clock is now part of the game.

It won’t technically be required in the regular season or even in the district and regional tournaments, but the 35-second clock is mandatory for state semifinals and finals.

As tough as this football season has been for the Milton Panthers, they ended it on a high note.

The Panthers came through with a 14-12 win over Booker T. Washington Tuesday night at Hurley Manning Field.

Jay’s Addie Cone turned in the best performance among the runners at the District 1-1A cross-country meet Tuesday at L.E.A.D. Academy.

Cone just missed a top 10 finish, placing 11th overall. She clocked in at 22:24.90.

It’s been an interesting final month of the regular season, and it ends this week with teams having short turnarounds.

Navarre and Milton both have games tonight while Pace and Jay are both in action on Wednesday. Here’s a look at the matchups.

The Jay Royals are one win away from the first volleyball state championship in program history.

The Royals took care of business against Williston in a Rural Region 1 state semifinal on Monday afternoon, winning in three sets.

A handful of swimmers from Santa Rosa County have qualified for the Florida High School Athletic Association 3A state swim meet.

The meet is scheduled for Friday at the Florida Aquatics Swimming and Training Center in Ocala.
