It was a mixed emotion week for the Navarre High School varsity boys basketball team.  It started Thursday with an emotional, 48-42, away win over arch rival Gulf Breeze.   But the following night the host Raiders came up on the wrong end of a hard fought over-time 49-48, game against Tate’s Aggies.  The Aggie win clinched their hold on the number one seed in the upcoming 1-5A district championship tournament slated to get underway Feb. 8 at Pine Forest High School. 

 

“Any game between Navarre and Gulf Breeze is always emotionally tense because of the traditional rivalry between the two schools,” said Navarre Coach Rob Whitley.  “This game was no different.  Our players did a good job of handling that pressure.”
