Since the hiring of Chris Bell as Laurel Hill’s new boys basketball coach, the first thing on his agenda was opening the gymnasium for young athletes around the area to work out on their own time.


Previous players, and those looking to play in the winter, have utilized the opportunity to stay up to date with their skills.

The Crestview Bulldogs are looking to shake things up this year after a 6-4 performance last season.


With the taste of the 6A playoffs still lingering off their tongues, head coach Thomas Grant has prepared his team for a battle tested year.

With the start of August, football season is inching closer in the city of Crestview.


Although the high school season hasn’t started yet, the Hub City Bulldogs and Crestview Area Youth Association Bulldogs padded up for the Gridiron Classic on Aug. 1.

Save the dates aren’t just for big events. They also serve as reminders of which games to circle on a calendar for the high school football season, which kicks off this week.

Football season is right around the corner, and the Crestview Bulldogs have been hitting the ground running through summer workouts.


Leading the team is senior quarterback Zy Tassin, who’s seeking a perfect record in his final season at Crestview High School.

The sport of tennis has made a major impact on the Crestview community, and much of that is due to the success of Crestview High School’s tennis team.


With schools like Davidson, Shoal River, and Pineview Middle Schools also participating in the sport, TopCat Tennis Academy decided a tennis camp was the perfect way to sharpen athletes’ skills.

The Baker Gator volleyball team traveled to Crestview on July 21 for a summer, exhibition scrimmage matchup against the Bulldogs.


It was the first game situation that Baker has been in this year, and Crestview’s opposition provided a good measuring stick for where the Gators currently stand.

The Crestview volleyball team hosted their fifth “Volleyball Kids Camp” this past week.


What started as a way of getting players prepared for the upcoming season has branched out and taken root in elementary and middle school girls.

What started as an idea in Baker girls’ basketball head coach Demieka McClendon’s mind soon became a reality.


With inspiration from some of her summer basketball players, McClendon decided to bring a Basketball Clinic to the Baker School gymnasium.

Basketball is one of the prime sports in Laurel Hill, if not the prime sport. With very few sports under the Hoboes’ athletic program, the community surrounds the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams, and the kids look forward to playing on the same court one day.


For coach Carl Henry, this sparked an idea.
