54 days to kickoff…
 
Navarre will get the 2022 High School football season underway when they travel to Fort Walton Beach to take on the Vikings on 26 Aug 2022.
 
54 games ago – Navarre 40, Escambia 35 (2016 – Playoffs)
 
Navarre…7 14 13 6 – 40
Escambia…0 7 21 6 – 35
 
Navarre relied on the legs of Michael Carter (28 carries, 244 yards, 4 TDs) the majority of this game, but it was the defense that stood tall in the waning seconds of this game to secure the victory.
 
54th win in school history – Navarre 42, Walton 36 (2010)
 
Navarre found themself down to Walton 29-13 at the half after the Braves put up a 26-spot on the Raiders in the second quarter. Walton still led at the end of the third, 36-22, but it would be all Navarre in the fourth as they rallied for the victory.
 
Liam Miller (28-51, 422 yards, 4 TDs) and Corliss Stone (10 receptions, 219 yards, 2 TDs) led the Braves offense, but their inability to put a running game together was their downfall in the end.
