Week two of the high school football should be an interesting one.

Pace squares off against Catholic. Milton welcomes Tate to town and Jay hits the road to Elberta, Alabama.

It’s a Tuesday night in late August and Jay’s volleyball team finds a way to hold off West Florida Tech and keep its perfect record intact.

The Royals win 25-16, 21-25, 25-9 and 25-17 in Pensacola as their strong start to what they hope is a special year continues.

Navarre, Pace and Milton all competed at the Choctaw Freestyle Invitational on Aug. 22 in their first official meet of the season.

Pace’s Amy Wolfenden Invitational is set for Sept. 12 at the University of West Florida Aquatic Center.

A big-time matchup is ahead for the University of West Florida men’s basketball team in year one as a Division I program. The Argos will take on Florida State on Nov. 29 at the Bay Center in Pensacola.

Matt Wood once worked on the south end of Santa Rosa County as a coach. He’s back now as Soundside’s first head softball coach and is excited about the opportunity.

Week one of the high school season is complete.

Here’s a look back at the first week and what is ahead for Navarre, Pace, Central, Jay and Milton.

Central made its share of history last season, and it made a little more last Friday night, winning its first season opener in program history.

The Jaguars rolled over Graceville 37-6 to start the season 1-0 for the first time.

Wet conditions posed a rough obstacle for the Pace Patriots to overcome in their season opener against the Fairhope Pirates.

A slow start changed quickly after a dropped snap by the Pirates turned into a long touchdown by Caden Shoemaker, beginning the Patriots’ journey to a 41-0 victory.

To kick off the 2026 football season, Jay traveled to Baker for the latest installment of the War on Highway 4.

When the two squads met on the field after a 45-minute lightning delay, it was one-way traffic for the Royals as they topped the Gators 35-6.
