Pace head boys basketball coach Houston Ramsay has seen the snapshots of his team’s potential this season.

Take the 66-50 District 1-6A loss to Navarre on Monday night as an example.

For Ethan Diamond and Chase Taylor, Friday’s Pensacola Sports Association All-Star Game carried a little extra meaning.

The Milton quarterback and Pace linebacker became friends in fifth grade and have remained close ever since.

Pace alum Olivia Bradley knew it was going to take a ton of time and effort to be a college athlete. And that just scratches the surface.

Aubreigh Nelson is only a freshman, but she continues to make an impact for Jay’s girls basketball team in just her second year as a varsity player.

She admits starting out playing at that level while still in middle school wasn’t easy.

Pace’s girls basketball team is undefeated through nine games. The Patriots notched their ninth victory of the season Tuesday with a 48-41 win over Fort Walton Beach.

Players dribble the ball up and down the court during a drill in practice as the work doesn’t stop for a Milton boys basketball team that has stormed out to an unbeaten start.

It has been a fun ride so far for the Panthers, who have not only flipped the script, but have turned it on its head.

Things are once again changing across the high school football landscape in Florida.

Two years after it was introduced, the Metro/Suburban classifications have been axed.

Milton’s boys soccer team was unable to complete a season sweep of Freeport last Tuesday night at Hurley Manning Field, falling 4-2 to the Bulldogs.

The Panthers had beaten Freeport 2-0 on Nov. 27 but fell behind 1-0 at halftime this time around and was unable to take control in the second half.

It was all going so well for Milton’s girls basketball team. Kayla Willis used a bounce pass to get the ball to Gabi Wright for a layup that pushed the Panther lead to nine late in the fourth quarter against Navarre last Tuesday night.

Everything changed in the final minutes, however, as Navarre rallied past Milton, which suffered a  39-37 District 1-6A loss to the Raiders.

Five Pace athletes signed national letters of intent earlier this month.

Two of those athletes are headed to the Division I level, with softball standout Jayden Heavener signing with LSU and star golfer Braden Duvall bound for Southern Mississippi.
