Northview To Battle Jay Tonight For Regional Softball Crown
May 13, 2025
The Northview Lady Chiefs and the Jay Royals will battle it out tonight for the FHSAA Rural Division regional championship at Jay.
Northview is pulling into town riding high on a five-game win streak — including a 9-1 Rural District 1 championship win over Jay on May 1 and a dramatic walk-off regional semifinal shutout last week over Holmes County. In fact, Northview’s only loss in the past 10 games was to Jay way back on April 15.
In last week’s big win over Holmes County, Mikayla McAnally pitched a complete game with over a dozen strikeouts while allowing just one hit. She’s now averaging 5.1 strikeouts each game.
Layna Lowry pitched a full seven innings in the Royal’s last outing, a 9-1 regional semifinal win over Chipley.
District champ Northview is 20-6, while Jay is 21-3. Northview has a team batting average of .340, and Jay is close behind at .335.
In three previous meetings this year, Northview won twice over Jay, but Jay has outscored Northview 17-15.
First pitch is set for 6 p.m. in Jay. Tickets are available on GoFan, or $9 cash at the gate.
We’ll have photos and coverage on Wednesday morning on NorthEscambia.com.

Don’t Forget To Help — Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive Is Today
May 10, 2025
Residents in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties are encouraged to fill their Stamp Out Hunger bags with healthy, nonperishable food donations this week, and leave them by their mailbox on today for pick-up by their letter carrier in support of the 33rd Annual National Association of Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. Donations stay local and benefit the children, senior citizens, veterans, families, and individuals served by Manna Food Bank and other local pantries.
It is the largest, national, single-day effort to put food on the table for millions of Americans. Food collected in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties benefits five local food pantries, helping to feed those who are struggling with food insecurity in our community.
“Stamp Out Hunger is one of the most important annual food drives for many of the area’s food pantries, including Manna,” said Dede Flounlacker, Executive Director of Manna Food Bank. “Every food donation collected by letter carriers helps meet the needs of hungry neighbors in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.”
Residents of the two-county area should receive a white Stamp Out Hunger bag ahead of the food drive to fill with food donations; however, any bag can be used. Residents are encouraged to fill the bag with healthy, non-perishable food items, such as canned chicken, canned tuna, canned fruit in 100% juice, dry breakfast items (oatmeal, whole-grain cereal), canned vegetables, and peanut butter. Residents should be sure to place the bag next to their mailbox (traditional or non-traditional) prior to regular mail delivery this Saturday, May 10. Residents should not donate items in glass containers or items that have been opened or homemade.
Escambia and Santa Rosa letter carriers will collect the food donations that will benefit individuals and families served by Manna Food Bank, Feeding the Gulf Coast, ACTS Ministries, We Care Ministries, and Warrington Emergency Aid Center.

Sheriff’s Movie Night Canceled Due To Weather
May 9, 2025
UPDATE: THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO WEATHER.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with the Escambia County Sheriff Foundation, will host a community “Sheriff’s Movie Night” on this evening at Molino Park Elementary. The event, scheduled from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., will offer areal families a fun evening out, complete with food and a popular animated film.
The evening will kick off at 5:30 p.m. with the serving of hotdogs and hamburgers before the main feature.
As dusk settles, the focus will shift to the big screen for the featured presentation: DreamWorks and Aardman’s stop-motion animated comedy, “Chicken Run.” The film tells the story of a group of chickens on a 1950s British egg farm, led by the determined hen Ginger. Their lives are under threat when the cruel farmer, Mrs. Tweedy, decides to turn the farm into a chicken pot pie factory. Desperate to avoid this fate, Ginger and her fellow chickens plot an elaborate escape, enlisting the help of Rocky Rhodes, a roguish American rooster who claims he can fly. Together, they face numerous hilarious and nail-biting challenges as they work together to achieve their dream of freedom.
The family-friendly movie is sure to provide entertainment for all ages, with its blend of humor, adventure, and themes of teamwork and perseverance.
Sheriff Chip W. Simmons and the Escambia County Sheriff Foundation encourage all local families to attend this free community event for an evening of food, fun, and film.
