From state championship glory for the boys and girls weightlifting teams at Pace to a turnaround season for the Milton Panthers in football, 2025 was certainly eventful.


Here’s a look back at some of the top moments of the year.

With the calendar soon flipping to 2026, January should be an exciting month for area basketball teams as games start to mean a little more.


Here’s a look at big games to keep an eye on for each team in the area.

The final weeks of the high school soccer regular season are right around the corner and there is plenty to keep an eye on as we approach the start of January.

One last high school football game was played Friday as the East battled the West in the Pensacola Sports Association All-Star Game.


The West prevailed 3-0 on a chilly evening at Pine Forest.

Central’s boys basketball won only seven games last season.


It’s a different story for the Jaguars this season, who have won nine of their first 11.

It was one of those nights in the gym where mostly everything went right.


Central’s girls basketball team dominated Northview 77-8 on Dec. 18 to pick up its fourth win in a row, and it’s another big step forward for a young squad.

Kaylee Gilbreath is a three-sport standout at Jay, but volleyball is the one she wanted to play at the collegiate level.


She’ll get the chance to do it after signing with Coastal Alabama North on Tuesday.

Chance Baird really didn’t start playing football until his freshman year, unless you count the year of youth football in second grade.


He turned out to be a pretty good offensive lineman and signed with the University of West Florida on Tuesday.

Pace boys soccer continued its winning ways as AJ Bon-Jorno scored his sixth hat trick of the season and Mitchel Hoffman added another score in a 4-0 victory over Pine Forest on Tuesday.

The first set of FHSAA regional soccer rankings are out and Pace is the lone Santa Rosa County team currently in the top eight.
