One thing that stands out about the Crestview volleyball team coming into the season is the experience on its roster.
There are seven seniors on the team and several key contributors.
Crestview head football coach Thomas Grant can point to a handful of games last year where, if a few more plays are made, or if turnovers don’t happen, the outcome is different.
As it is, the Bulldogs went 4-6, but they believe better days are ahead.
Baker’s football team produced a 7-4 record last season, which, on the surface, looks good because it’s a winning season.
But in Gator country, where tradition is rich and success runs deep, the expectations are, understandably, higher.
Crestview and Baker are closing in on the start of their 2025 volleyball seasons.
The Bulldogs nearly had a winning season while the Gators won their 22nd consecutive district championship and went on to play in the state final four.
After two months of running in the hot morning sun, the Baker football team finished its summer workouts.
Along with lifting in the weight room, the team practiced three days a week in June and four days a week in July.
The Baker boys basketball program continues to prepare for the upcoming season.
With only a few weeks left before the school year, head coach Chad Martin and his team was utilizing the last part of July to hold pickup games at the school gym.
