Pace football beats Navarre to set up district title showdown with Niceville
Pace head coach Vance Smith knows it's human nature for his team to look ahead. Once the Patriots road game against Niceville was moved off Oct. 9 and to Nov. 4 because of Hurricane Isaias , it turned a clash where the winner would likely win the District 1-5A title into a de-facto district championship. Everything since returning from the storm would build to that moment if Pace did its job. After a 29-12 win at Tate on Oct. 23 and a 46-0 win at Navarre on Thursday, that job is complete. Now, it's time to turn to Niceville and clinching a third straight district title. "Myself and the coaching staff have done everything we can to get them to focus on tonight and what's ahead," Smith said. "And now that that's complete, we can turn our full attention to Niceville." Thursday wasn't just intended to be a stop on the way to the biggest game of the season. Smith is never satisfied and there's always work to be done, even against an overmatched opponent. In the win at Tate last week, he thought his team needed to come out faster and that the offensive line struggled to get push
