The Laurel Hill girls’ basketball team came into the season looking to prove that they could compete against other top teams in the area.
So far through six games this year, they have done just that.
20 years ago, Gracie Simmons was one of the first athletes at the Baker school to compete in weightlifting under then first-year head coach, David Oglesby.

On a chilly early December evening, Angel Guzman, the head coach of the Crestview boys soccer team, was looking for answers.
