South Walton Basketball on a Roll!

[Grayton Girl]

Congratulations to South Walton's Boys Basketball Team on their 10th consecutive "win" last night. The Seahawks played Ponce de Leon at home in a packed gymnasium, and they won 80-57!

Tonight they face one of their county rivals, Freeport High School, at Freeport. Varsity tipoff at 7:15; JV at 6:00.

Come on up to Freeport and support your South Walton boys! See you there!

Why is WIN in quotes? A 80-57 victory is a good ole-fashioned mudhole stomping! The test will come in a couple of weeks when the Hawks try and get through District against Walton and Pensacola Catholic.

Yeah, and Catholic will be out for revenge.

You are right, Idlewind! Walton and Pensacola Catholic are formidible opponents, but this year's Seahawk team has the talent, confidence and team chemistry necessary to beat both of these foes.

As a long-time fan (and parent of a player ), it's good to see great things happening in this program!

Congratulations to the boys! I think the girls play Niceville!! tonight at home.

The girls will have to beat Pensacola Catholic next week in order to get into the State Playoffs.

Ditto GG....go Hawks!
Those boys are growing up....they're looking like men!

The streak did come to an end last night, but not by much. JV lost by two points (and one of our starters was home sick ) and the Varsity team lost by about ten points. I don't remember the exact score, but it certainly wasn't the butt-whoopin' that we have suffered at their hands before.

Still, it is hard to lose to your closest rival - which feels a little weird to say about my alma mater !
