Baker remains in playoff contention in high school football based on the final MaxPreps rankings of October.

Last week began with the District 1-1A boys and girls golf tournament, hosted at Eagle Springs Golf Course in DeFuniak Springs.

The tournament was spread across two days, with the boys playing Monday and the girls Tuesday.
