With tryouts approaching quickly, the Crestview volleyball team has yet to be announced.


With a large influx of younger players, head coach James Kerrell and his Bulldogs hosted a summer scrimmage against Baker last Tuesday to get a better understanding of who fit where on the court.

Head Coach Chris Bell has a deep history of coaching experience under his belt.


With 24 years shared across Destin, Niceville, the Florida Dream Travel Basketball Team, and teams across the globe, coach Bell begins his next journey as the boys’ basketball coach at Laurel Hill.

Laurel Hill’s volleyball team has consistently progressed throughout the years under head coach Kasey Campbell.


After being hired in 2022, Campbell and her Hoboes have increased their wins year after year. Having retained many of its players, Laurel Hill looks to make the 2026 season a positive one.

Baker’s volleyball program has been top-notch over the years under the guidance of current head coach, Chelsea Medley.


After 22 consecutive Rural District 1 volleyball titles, Medley continues to build upon the program with her Middle School Volleyball Camp.

Flag Football has proceeded to grow over the years in high school and college, while breaking ground with a professional league in 2027 and debuting in the 2028 Olympic Games.


Doing their part to grow the sport and keep kids active, Crestview Parks and Recreation hosted their second year of Flag Football Camp.

Sports injuries are a serious concern at any level of competition. Daily, more protocols are approved to help ensure the safety of athletes.


That level of care is making its way into Okaloosa County after the School Board approved a partnership with Orthopaedic Associates and Axis Physiotherapy Institute during its June 22 meeting.

Baker football is a standout when it comes to Rural football in the FHSAA, and senior running back Calvin Wilks III has contributed to that success.


With his senior year approaching, Wilks III is keeping it simple to prepare for 1A competition.

For many children who gain an interest in football, their first introduction is through Pop Warner.


Here in Crestview, the Hub City Bulldogs are amongst the toughest competition throughout the Southeast region, and their conditioning camp last Tuesday showcased why.

The Crestview Cross Country team has been busy this summer after starting their training back on June 1.


Each morning at 7:00 a.m. the Bulldogs have been waking up to get better ahead of the 2026 season.

Josh Bethel had an outstanding season on the court last year for the Baker Gators, helping lead the team to a second straight Rural District championship game.


After improving his numbers from his sophomore year to his junior, Bethel aims to do it again one last time.
