The Baker varsity baseball team competed in the Rural District 1 baseball tournament this past week. After beating Paxton 16-1, the Gators advanced to the semifinals where they took on Northview for the second time this season.

It was Senior Night for the Crestview flag football team this past Monday. The Bulldogs were up against a tough opponent in Fort Walton Beach, but the girls weren’t going to be bested by the Vikings.

The Baker Gators track and field team has been on the road all season with the construction of their new football field keeping them from hosting home meets.

The Laurel Hill Hoboes set two goals before the start of the baseball season. One, beat Paxton, and two win a district championship.

The Crestview beach volleyball team had their hands full this past Tuesday as they hosted top district opponent Gulf Breeze. The two teams last met a month ago on March 12, with Gulf Breeze winning 5-0.

The Laurel Hill baseball team hosted the Pleasant Home Eagles in their final game of the regular season last Friday.
