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.

On Oct. 11, Baker dropped a road contest 21-20, to Zion Chapel (Alabama).

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.

For the final time before the district playoffs, the Florida High School Athletic Association released its state volleyball rankings on Oct. 9.

The Baker football team is preparing for its final stretch of its regular season.

Crestview volleyball fell in a road match at Niceville on Oct. 8 in four sets.

On a rainy Friday night in Crestview, the Bulldogs fell just short of visiting Pine Forest, 13-7, in overtime.

Pace and Jay are still among the top teams in their respective regions while Navarre, Crestview and Baker are outside the top eight.
