The Crestview Lady Bulldogs soccer team opened District 2-6A tournament play on Wednesday night at home against Leon in hopes of advancing to the semifinals against top seed Niceville. As has been the case in the previous two matches, Lady Bulldog Mary Richard was at it again. Richard scored three goals and picked up the hat trick for the third consecutive match.

For the longest time things didn’t look good for the Crestview boys soccer team as the Bulldogs hosted Freeport on Friday night before a sparse crowd in a chilly and windy Jack Foster Stadium. Freeport scored twice in the first 28 minutes of the match. For most of the evening it looked as if the visitors would head back to Walton County with a win

The Crestview High School girls soccer team hosted Freeport on Friday in a battle of Lady Bulldogs. In reality it was no battle at all. In fact, it was more like a freight train roaring down the tracks as Crestview rolled to a 9-1 win.

When does 15 plus 10 equal five? The answer, when number 15, Mary Richard scores three goals and number 10, Tahlia Brooks scores two goals. That’s what happened for the Crestview Lady Bulldog soccer team on Wednesday as they played host to Milton.

It’s safe to say that Crestview High School’s Mary Richard was born to play soccer.

Her father, Louis Richard, is a former assistant coach at Auburn University and Ole Miss. Her four siblings are soccer players. She has been playing since she was three.

A chilly night at Jack Foster Stadium greeted the Crestview and Choctaw boys soccer teams on Thursday night. At times it felt as if the only thing cooler than the weather were the two offenses.

Sometimes a moral victory isn’t a bad thing. Such was the case on Monday, December 4, when the Crestview Lady Bulldog soccer team hosted perennial power Mosley.

Brandon Reyes graduated from Crestview High School on May 25. And as they are fond of saying at CHS, “Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog.”

Reyes will continue his soccer career at Holmes Community College in Goodman, Miss., in the fall. Fittingly enough, Holmes also has the Bulldogs mascot.

We! We believe! We believe that we can win!

(At least, we hope we did….)

We’re writing this the day before the United States’ men’s team plays Iran with a berth in the knockout round of the World Cup at stake. Look, America’s not a soccer country – not yet. Many curious onlookers and casual fans complained vehemently about the Yanks’ 0-0 tie against England’s Three Lions the day after Thanksgiving, days after a 1-1 draw against little Wales in their first group-stage match.
