The Crestview High School football team will board the buses one last time in the 2023 season on Thursday and head east to Tallahassee to face the Leon Lions. Game time is 6:30 locally.
With a 2-6 record, the Bulldogs have been eliminated from playoff contention, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have plenty to play for coming off a 49-22 win over Milton.
Kurt Armstrong towers above most high school football players he faces at Baker. A small school player with big school size, Armstrong, a senior stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 320 pounds.

A week after picking up its first win of the season Baker’s football team returned home for Homecoming 2023 against rival Northview.
The Chiefs would have no part of being celebration fodder. Northview broke open the game in the second half scoring 21 points on the way to a 28-0 win.
It has been said the recipe for a perfect Homecoming football game is a brisk fall night, a radiant queen and an outmatched opponent.
Ava Lightfoot was that radiant queen at Jack Foster Stadium on Friday night as Crestview celebrated Homecoming 2023. As for the brisk fall night, it might be a week away. Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, Chiles was not an outmatched opponent.
