Niceville volleyball winners of 10 of past 11, embracing 'grit'
NICEVILLE — It's not so much a motto, but a way of life for Niceville volleyball. "Grit" — that's what the Eagles call the recipe behind their 12-3 start, and it can take on added meaning depending on who you talk to. For Anna Sutter and Katherine Newkirk, standing 6-foot-2 and 6-foot on the middle block, it means embracing life as Niceville's first line of defense at the net. For libero Aprille Trotter, it means no weak links on the defensive end; she and her teammates telling one another before every match, "Don't let the ball drop. Keep the ball off the floor." For setter and three-year starter Carnley Summerlin, it means wearing many hats: quarterback of the offense, blocking alongside the middles and being that voice to make sure bodies are flying around, loose balls are staying in the air and communication is flowing. Week 5 HS football picks: Choctaw-Niceville, FWB-Walton, SoWAl-Arnold and more As for the outside hitters, also an integral part of Niceville's vaunted block, Kate Jannazo said it's partly anticipating where the ball's going, seeing the opponents' arm slots and judging the angles to be set up best defensively. For Claire Ivey, "we just are always

Niceville multi-sport athlete seeks community support
NICEVILLE, Fla. — A young Niceville athlete has reached the Top 10 in a national voting competition for young athletes and is seeking community support as voting continues. Ten-year-old Alison Ruckman has advanced to the Top 10 in her group in the 2026 Youth Athlete of the Year Competition. Voting is now underway to determine which competitors advance to the Top 5. Alison is a multi-sport athlete who plays lacrosse with the Niceville Eagles Lacrosse Club, swims with the Bluewater Bay Wahoos and competes as a Level 3 gymnast with US Gold Gymnastics in Miramar Beach. Her mother, Mary Ruckman, said Alison’s path to competitive gymnastics has been an example of the determination she hopes her daughter carries with her beyond sports. After about six months in gymnastics, Alison tried out for the competitive team and earned a second evaluation, according to her mother. She did not make the team that year but continued training and returned the following year to try again. This time, she earned a place on the Level 3 competitive team. “That perseverance is exactly what we want her to take away from this experience: sometimes you don’t get the ‘yes’ the first time, but that
