Niceville's season comes to an end on Pace last-second TD

NICEVILLE — In today's MaxPreps-driven, Wild Wild West atmosphere of Florida high school football, where every two years a new playoff format enters the foray and coaches are jockeying for position in a non-transparent formula, there's a thin line between district champ and sitting out the playoffs. Niceville went from the former to the latter in the final 20 seconds of Wednesday night's District 1-5A title game against Pace at Eagle Stadium. UP 25-24 with 20 seconds left, the Eagles had done everything in their power to hoist district hardware and flip the narrative on Adron Robinson's first year at the helm. Deagan McCoy drove the Eagles 79 yards in 2:34, the junior connecting with Jakobe Gilyard for a 14-yard touchdown and then Caleb Leonard for the go-ahead 2-point conversion on a gutsy decision by Robinson. Only, a mistake was made. Leonard spiked the ball to draw the unsportsmanlike flag, turning a routine touchback on the ensuing kickoff into a Pace opportunity with the ball moved 15 yards back. Vote now: FPL Athlete of the Week for Oct. 26-31 Still, only 20 seconds remained. Not an eternity. The ensuing kick was meant to go up the left side, but instead

Santa Rosa County District Schools can count on funding from half-cent sales tax revenue after voters supported a 10-year renewal of the tax on Tuesday. Voters passed the referendum by a vote of 48,692 (67.4%) in favor and 23,509 (32.6%) against, according to unofficial results. The tax will begin Jan. 1, 2029, and end Dec. 31, 2038. Over that period, the tax is expected to generate an estimated $160 million for capital outlay projects. Who won Escambia, Santa Rosa races? Latest Florida election results Past half-cent sales tax revenue has helped build new Santa Rosa County public school s and repair existing buildings. First approved in 1997, the Local Option Sales Tax currently accounts for more than one-third of the Santa Rosa County District Schools' capital outlay budget, said Karen Barber, superintendent of Santa Rosa schools. In addition to new schools and repairs, funds can also be used for land acquisition and improvements and upgrading and equipping schools with technology.
