Olivia Ikier put up a shot in the lane over a defender with just over a second remaining in the first half of Tuesday’s showdown against Booker T Washington.
It went in and Pace celebrated as that basket gave the Patriots a two-point lead at halftime against the unbeaten Wildcats.

The new classifications are out for high school football in Florida. And there are some changes.
Navarre, Pace, Tate and Crestview will be together in District 1-6A. Milton is headed to 5A and Jay will remain rural.

Milton wanted to win Wednesday afternoon’s showdown against Mary G. Montgomery in the Florida/Alabama Challenge at Tate and keep its perfect start to the season intact.
But there is value in defeat, especially in a battle of unbeaten teams, and the Panthers took that to heart in a 53-45 loss to the Vikings inside Fryman Gymnasium.

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.
