Union County stampede: Fightin' Tigers win latest SSAA road upset

(This story has been updated to add new information and to correct a name spelling.) For Robby Pruitt , the head coaching journey of a lifetime began in Jacksonville 42 years ago. More than four decades on, he's winning postseason games on the First Coast again, steering the stampede for Union County in a 28-21 upset of Paxon in the Sunshine State Athletic Association Atlantic League North semifinal on Nov. 6. They've got eighth-graders in the lineup, even seventh-grader Ethan Williams. They field barely a dozen combined juniors and seniors, some of them injured. Now, Union County (7-5) is off to round three at No. 1 seed West Nassau on Nov. 13. "I tell you, it's great winning a game like this with a bunch of young kids," Pruitt said. Playing in the same city where he landed his first head coaching job with University Christian in 1984, on his way to the unprecedented feat of 200-win careers in both Florida and Georgia, he's still going strong in the first year of his second Union County stint. And so is his team. Watch Florida high school sports live on NFHS Network Got a great play? How to submit your high

Angie Nixon reveals what's next after losing Florida's U.S. Senate race

The election is over, but for Angie Nixon the fight is just beginning. The former Jacksonville state representative and community organizer who shook up Florida’s political system as the Democratic Party’s U.S. Senate nominee announced Thursday night that she is launching a new political action committee to turn the grassroots energy she galvanized across Florida into lasting political power for working families. “Our mission is simple: to build the political and economic power of everyday hardworking people, so they can determine the future of their communities and shape the economies that sustain them,” she said on a Zoom call Thursday evening as she launched the Never Scared PAC. Nixon, who lost to incumbent Sen. Ashley Moody, said the new PAC will focus on civic engagement, developing new leaders rooted in their communities and ensuring “working families have a voice in our elections.” “Never Scared PAC is not just about the next election; it’s about the next generation,” she said. Despite losing the contest, Nixon has remained in campaign mode. On Thursday’s call about what’s next for the grassroots, door-knocking coalition she built, she told supporters that what they had “built together matters.” “I know Tuesday night wasn’t what we wanted.
