Milton linebacker Brodie Gillis has spent his entire high school career working for the opportunity to play college football.

Earlier this month, the senior standout reached his goal, signing a national letter of intent with Huntingdon College.

Before last season began, Lexi Shelby remembers she and her teammates talking about making a run at state.

It ended up being more than just talk as the Patriots reached the final four and now go into this season eager to repeat it. They’ll have a chance to do it with 16 players back, including the entire starting lineup.

Mary Mancin and her Milton Panther girls soccer team rolled back into town from Jacksonville in the early hours of last Wednesday morning.

Their season was now over after an 8-0 loss to Stanton Tuesday night in the opening round of the Region 1-5A regional tournament.

An historic season for Milton’s girls weightlifting team ended with the best finish in the program’s history.

The Panthers finished third in the state at the FHSAA 2A meet Friday at the R. Marion Craig Coliseum in Port St. Joe.

Track work has been going on in preparation for the 2022 season which includes a 70-foot-wide trace for the entire three-eighths mile circuit. Crews have also worked very hard on problem spots as well as implementing progressive banking all the way around the track.

Pace made its first year in 3A a memorable one.

The Patriots finished as the state runner-up Thursday in Port St. Joe, scoring 18 points to secure an impressive finish at the FHSAA girls weightlifting meet at the R. Marion Craig Coliseum.

In a game against Navarre a couple of weeks ago, Milton’s boys basketball team seemed poised for a big road win.

The Panthers led by 17 in the second half but soon saw that lead slip from their grasp in a 53-52 loss to the Raiders.

Milton has a new head football coach.

Long-time assistant Kelly Gillis has been named to the position.

Forget about the 13-point deficit Pace faced early in the second quarter or the similar deficit it stared up at late in the third against Navarre in a thrilling District 1-6A championship game Friday night.

The Patriots weren’t going to stop playing, not with a trophy on the line.

A $600,000 financial commitment from Sandy Sansing, the CEO of Sandy Sansing Automotive and a UWF alum and former athlete, will help provide for that expansion as well as support the Sandy Sansing Need-Based Student Athlete Scholarship.
