I recently attended my first high school baseball game in the area.

The weather was fantastic on a perfect day for baseball.

The Baker softball team dominated Rocky Bayou Christian on Feb. 27, as they swept the Knights in a double-header.

Baker won both games by a final of 17-0.

All three North Okaloosa County high schools participated in the Baker Invitational track meet on a breezy, late winter day on Feb. 27.

In the boys 100-meter dash, Sean Smiley of Laurel Hill was the top finisher with a mark of 11.89, while Crestview had the next two finishers who competed all in the top 10 overall with Hayden Harris and Ziare Hobdy running in under 12.01 seconds.

There were no signs of rust for the Baker baseball team after a 11-day break between games.

Baker scored 10 runs in the first inning on Feb. 25, and then cruised to a 12-1 over Pensacola Christian Academy at home.

Five days prior, the Crestview flag football team was left searching for answers in a shutout loss on the road to Navarre.

In their home on Feb. 25 against Pine Forest, the Bulldogs bounced back in a big way.

On a sunny, cool day in Northwest Florida, the Crestview High School beach volleyball team took advantage of a deep line-up to win their season opener over Pace, 3-2.

The Crestview baseball team dropped a tight home game to Milton on Feb. 21, by a final of 6-4. Crestview stands at 1-4 heading into Monday night’s game at home against Choctaw. First pitch is at 6:30 p.m. The Bulldogs got off to a hot start against the Panthers, as they scored three runs in […]

Recently, four teams from four different nations participated in a hockey tournament called the “Four Nations Face-Off.”

It pitted the United States, Canada, Sweden and Finland against each other as they played a round-robin tournament with the two teams remaining with the highest point total playing against each other for a championship.

Crestview’s Braxton Ratcliff made history at the Baker Invitational last Wednesdasy.

Ratcliff totaled 650-lbs. in the 199 lbs. weight class in the traditional category, which included a meet record of 345-lbs. in the clean and jerk.

The Baker boys weightlifting team hosted the 15th annual Oliver’s Nursery Invitational on Feb. 19 in the Baker gym.

10 teams from four different counties were represented in the meet, with 3A reigning state champion, Pace, and 2A reigning state champion, Choctaw among the programs who were at the meet.
