In the latest FHSAA Football Rankings released today, both Baker and Crestview made moves as they prepare to make a run towards the playoffs.
Baker (6-2) entered the week in the 15th spot in the rural classification, down two positions from the previous week’s rankings. The Gators are coming off a close loss to Zion Chapel, 21-20.
Change is coming to the football playoff schedule for the 1A-7A classifications.
Due to the impact Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton have had on schedules this fall in most of the state, the FHSAA has decided the playoffs for those classes will now begin Nov. 15 instead of Nov. 8.
Zy Tassin made a big play when Crestview’s football team needed one.
Twice he scored in the first half against Navarre last Friday night, with his second touchdown being scored after he outjumped a defensive back, hung onto the ball and took off for the end zone.
The Crestview Bulldogs swept Fort Walton Beach, 3-0, on senior night (Oct. 10th) to finish the regular season strong ahead of next week’s district tournament.
Crestview improved to 11-12 on the season, grabbing their first win since they swept a three-match tournament on September 28th.
Baker (6-1) had four players total over 30 yards rushing, and had three players find the end zone on the ground, in a 20-6 victory over Northview on Oct. 4.
