At times the Laurel Hill volleyball team seems so close to a win only to have that win slip so far away.
Such was the case on Monday when the Lady Hoboes hosted Freeport.
At first glance Caterina Dall’olio looks like every other member of the Crestview Lady Bulldogs volleyball team. Her tan-olive complexion and athletic body blends well with her teammates.
However, Dall’olio isn’t a typical Lady Bulldog. She’s currently attending Crestview High School as part of the exchange student program.
It’s that time of the volleyball season when the walking wounded seem to outnumber the healthy players on a team.
A key injury here or there can often spell the difference in a set or a match. But that can be said of every team in any sport as teams move into the back half of the schedule.
The state championship games for all classifications will be held at Bragg Memorial Stadium in Tallahassee Dec. 7-9.
The FHSAA made the announcement Thursday morning.
The Laurel Hill volleyball team was so close and yet so far away in Tuesday’s match with Pensacola Christian Academy.
Although the Lady Warriors won the match 3-1, every set was a battle. Set scores were 30-28, 17-25. 26-24. 25-23.
It’s hard to say if the Baker football team is better than its record indicates.
After Friday’s 14-3 loss to Jay, the Gators find themselves 0-4 on the season. As the saying goes, you’re as good or bad as your record indicates.
It was a tough home-opening match for Crestview’s girls golf team on Thursday.
The Lady Bulldogs hosted local power Niceville along with neighbors Fort Walton Beach and Choctawhatchee at Blackwater Golf Course.
Thursday was a tough night for the Crestview volleyball team.
The Lady Bulldogs traveled south on Highway 85 to take on rival Niceville. And while a tenacious Crestview team didn’t wilt under the pressure of a constant attack from the home team, but it was never able to get the upper hand.
Baker-Jay might just be the best small-school football rivalry in Northwest Florida. In recent years the Gators have held the upper hand.
Friday things could swing in favor of the Royals when the teams meet at Doug Griffith Memorial Stadium for the 7 p.m. game.
