It’s been a long baseball season for 2026, but it’s finally coming to an end. As the regular season wraps up, postseason play is next and the district tournament brackets have been released.


The Rural District 1 Tournament will take place at Central High School, and the District 1-6A Tournament will be played at Pace High School.

In the first FHSAA regional rankings of the month, Crestview is the only one among the top teams in its respective region.

The Baker softball team has been performing well as of late, winning their last two games over top regional and district opponents.


After a 10-0 loss to number two ranked Northview, earlier in the season, the Gators were seeking a better performance at home last Monday. What started as a close game soon got out of hand as the Gators lost 13-0.

After their performance at the Navarre Invitational, the Crestview boys’ weightlifting team knew work needed to be done before districts.


The fruit to their labor bloomed to an impressive performance Saturday, April 4 at the District 1 3A meet in Pace.

Each year, the Davidson Middle School softball team and Shoal River Middle School softball team meet at the Crestview High School softball field to celebrate the eighth graders who will begin their High School journey next fall.


Since both schools transfer to Crestview High School, the game is held on the Bulldog softball field to give the players a feel for the environment.

It was a full day of baseball last Thursday in Laurel Hill as the Hoboes hosted Samson and Atmore Christian.


Game one was a three-hour long marathon, but the Hoboes crossed the finish line with an 18-17 walk-off win. The Hoboes took their momentum into game two and won 14-4 in five innings via run rule.

The Crestview Beach Volleyball team finished their six-game road series this past Wednesday where they took on the South Walton Seahawks for the second time.


Their first meeting didn’t fare well for the Bulldogs as they lost 4-1. Fortune didn’t favor the bold this time either as Crestview lost 5-0.

Crestview tennis has all the momentum as districts approach.


The boys’ team has won four straight after sweeping West Florida last Tuesday. The girls beat West Florida 5-2 in their match, winning three in-a-row for the Bulldogs.

The Laurel Hill softball team had a rough start to the season, only winning one game before spring break.


The Hoboes returned and put together a three-game winning streak, before their most recent game against Lighthouse Private Christian Academy handed the Hoboes an 18-17 loss in extras.

The Baker softball team went on the road last Tuesday for a tough matchup against district opponent Central.


As of March 31, Central sits at number two in the FHSAA Rural Region 1 softball rankings, with an overall record of 11-1. That record gained a loss last Tuesday as the Gators beat Central 11-6.
