A quintet of Crestview baseball players took the field on last time on June 2 at the Pensacola State College baseball field as they played for the East team in the Pensacola Sports Association All-Star Game.

The East won the game 14-7 but playing with their friends one last time was what Brady Vann, Maddox Wesolowski, Joe Thomas, Bryce Dolce and Tison Breen will remember the most.

One play that almost every baseball and softball player dreams of being a part of, at least on the defensive side is a triple play.

But for a team of Crestview youth softball players ages 10-12 comprehending the rarity of such a play wasn’t easy after they turned one.

Ever since Crestview High School opened its doors in the current location in the fall of 1969, thousands of students have practiced, played, danced, celebrated and probably shed tears on the gymnasium floor.

That original floor is gone now and will be replaced by a new hardwood surface that will be the home floor of the Bulldog basketball and volleyball teams.

There’s a changing of the guard for Laurel Hill volleyball.  

Longtime Hobo coach Kent Zessin is stepping down and former multi-sport star Kasey Harrison Campbell is stepping up for the job. 

For close to 25 years, Crestview’s baseball camp has been teaching players the fundamentals of the game to boys and girls ages 4 to 13.

This year’s camp is scheduled for May 31 and June 1 at the Crestview High School baseball complex.

Baker wrapped up its first spring under new head coach Barry Gardner last Monday with a scrimmage.

The scrimmage had been scheduled for May 13, but lightning in the area forced it to be postponed.
Gardner was, for the most part, happy with what he saw from the team.

Crestview traveled south to Fort Walton Beach High School’s Steve Riggs Stadium for a spring football jamboree Friday night.

The Bulldogs faced off against Pine Forest, Catholic and Fort Walton Beach as Thomas Grant was at the helm of the program for the first time against live competition.

With the interim now off his title, Thomas Grant is in full charge as head coach of the Crestview High School football team.

Grant was pleased with what he has seen as the Bulldogs neared the end of the second week of spring practice.
