The Raiders couldn't pull the district upset on Tuesday night as they fell to 1-2 in district play with a tough 79-45 loss to Pensacola at home.

 

Navarre jumped out to an early 25-14 lead in the first quarter, but couldn't hold on as Pensacola surged to 20+ points per quarter the rest of the game to roll to the 1-4A win.

 

CJ Sampson led the way for Navarre, putting up 19 on the evening, while teammate Charlie Windfelder finished with 9 on the night.

 

The Raiders will look to bounce back on Friday night as they are set to host cross-town rival Gulf Breeze in another crucial 1-4A matchup.
