It’s the final week of football in October, and both Crestview and Baker are heading away from home. Here’s a look at this week’s competition under the lights.

The Eagle Springs Golf Course was utilized for the Walton County cross-country meet last Tuesday, Oct. 27.

Crestview, Baker and Laurel Hill all competed on the course ahead of their respective district meets.

Baker’s volleyball team wasn’t the favorite in its Rural Region 1 final against rival Jay this past Tuesday night, Nov. 27.

The Gators were up against the classification’s No. 1 team and had already lost three times this season to the Royals.

The Baker Gators once again returned to the FHSAA Rural Regional playoffs in volleyball and faced Laurel Hill in the opening round last Saturday.

After long rallies between the two teams, Baker found itself on the winning end of a 3-1 match.

Both Crestview and Baker competed in district matchups in week 10, and each came out under the lights with a victory. Here’s a look back at Crestview and Baker’s week 10 games.

The Laurel Hill Hoboes were new to the volleyball postseason, but they were familiar with their first-round foe, the Baker Gators.

In a four-set match, the Hoboes gave it all they had but fell 3-1 on the road, ending their season.

Northview was quick to score on its opening drive against the Baker Gators last Friday night. That one drive didn’t discourage the Gators as they took the lead and never looked back to beat the Chiefs 41-28.

Crestview’s football team could hear the chants from the Navarre Raider student section, and the words provided a little extra fuel for the Bulldogs on Friday night.

Talent, of course, played a part in the win as well as Crestview rolled to a 42-10 win over the Raiders on a cool October evening at Bennett C. Russell Stadium.

The Crestview swim team competed at the District Championship Swim Meet last Thursday in Panama City Beach.

After results and times were posted, 14 of Crestview’s swimmers qualified to advance to the regional meet, the most in program history.

The high school football regular season is coming to an end, but not before Crestview and Baker play this Friday.

The Bulldogs take on Navarre as both teams aim for a District 1-5A victory, and Baker travels to Northview to keep its playoff hopes alive.
