The Okaloosa County School District held its inaugural Intramural Cross Country Contest last Tuesday.

The day featured the top fourth- and fifth-grade runners from OCSD elementary schools who competed for their zone’s district title.

Another week has come and gone, and the final FHSAA regional rankings are nearing their release. Here’s a look at where the area teams stand ahead of the playoffs.

Crestview and Baker both rode the buses back home with an added loss to their seasons. Here’s a look back at what happened in the final games of October.

Baker last faced off against Jay in Week 1 of the regular season and was met with a 35-6 loss at home.

After seven games, the Gators visited Jay for a rivalry rematch but fell short once again, this time 28-0.

The Crestview Bulldogs started their girls’ weightlifting season last Thursday, hosting both Niceville and Navarre.

The Bulldogs feature a lot of young lifters and new head coach Mark Purcell, who is stepping in for his wife and previous head coach, Staci Swotek.

The Crestview Bulldogs returned to Alabama for the second time since facing Enterprise in Week 2. Sharing a 2-7 record with their opponent, the Dothan Wolves, Crestview aimed to end its season on a high note.

However, Dothan jumped on the Bulldogs quickly, handing Crestview a 44-38 loss to end its season.

The Crestview volleyball team was scheduled to host Milton for its final home game of the regular season. That same night was chosen to celebrate and honor Crestview’s seniors; however, the arrival of Hurricane Isaias canceled the game and senior night.

Baker remains in playoff contention in high school football based on the final MaxPreps rankings of October.

Last week began with the District 1-1A boys and girls golf tournament, hosted at Eagle Springs Golf Course in DeFuniak Springs.

The tournament was spread across two days, with the boys playing Monday and the girls Tuesday.

The Crestview boys and girls golf teams made a trek to Stonebrook in Pace last Monday morning, where they competed for the District 1-3A golf title.

After the area had been affected by Hurricane Isaias, the course was cleaned up in time for the tournament.
