When is win not a win? When an official misses what seems to be an obvious goal.
That was the fate of Crestview’s girls soccer team on Monday night when the Lady Bulldogs hosted Washington. An action-packed first 22 minutes of play saw the teams tied at 2-2.

Baker’s boys basketball team survived a torrid end to the first quarter by Gulf Pointe Latin on Friday night.
The Gladiators rolled up 15 points in the final 3:30 of the first quarter to lead the Gators 17-12 after the first quarter. The 17 first-quarter points would be more than half of Gulf Pointe’s total for the night.

An undersized and outmanned Laurel Hill boys basketball team was not match for a larger, more experienced Paxton squad on Thursday night.
The Hoboes dug themselves into an early 17-0 hole and although they turned in a gutsy performance, they couldn’t keep up with the Bobcats. When the final horn sounded Paxton had claimed a 72-40 win.

A little more than a week after Baker lost in the volleyball state championship, Gator players Kailyn Ellis and Leighton Mitchell were back on the court at the University of West Florida Fieldhouse as members of the East team in the Pensacola Sport Association All-Star Volleyball Classic.

Laurel Hill School has a rich history of volleyball excellence. Unfortunately, that excellence has been hard to come by in recent years. The last time the Hoboes were in the state tournament was 2017 meaning the season ended in the district tournament.

Most of the girls from North Okaloosa County playing for the East All-Star volleyball team on Tuesday were playing their final match other than intramurals or recreation leagues.

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.

High school basketball fans received their money’s worth and then some as the Crestview boys hosted Tate in the season opener.
The game was tight from start to finish with the finish coming after an overtime period. When the final buzzer sounded the Bulldogs survived to take the 67-61 win.

The Baker Lady Gator basketball team opened the 2022-23 season in impressive fashion on Monday night against Northview.
Powered by a stifling defense and timely offensive, Baker rolled to a 36-9 win over the Chiefs.

The 2022 Crestview Bulldog football season was one of might have been moments coupled with unbelievable under first-year coach Thomas Grant.
