South Walton football coach David Barron can feel the buzz swirling through the air around Santa Rosa Beach.
Every week, the Seahawks are doing things they've never done before. An unprecedented 2-0 beginning gave way to a 3-0 mark after last week's taut 28-27 victory over Bozeman, and the charge has been felt throughout Seahawk territory.
"It's an awesome start for the kids, the community, the school - all together," Barron said. " ... To be 3-0 is beyond our wildest dreams."
So you can imagine the kind of joy 4-0 would bring. Of course, Baker would like nothing better than to be a killjoy when the Gators (2-1) travel to South Walton for a 7 p.m. contest today in the District 1-2B opener for both clubs.
"I think this what we've talked about since last year in January," Baker coach Bob Kellogg said. "We're trying to compete for a district title, and this is step one."
While South Walton is riding high after two dramatic victories that were decided only after a pair of failed two-point conversions, Baker is in regroup mode after a frustratingly lopsided loss on its home field to Arnold.
Buoyed by its historic start, South Walton is now in a position to seriously consider the postseason, which would be a huge step for the young program. The Seahawks will have an upset in mind against a Baker squad that has won the teams' last two meetings.
"It's been a long time since I've felt this way going into the fourth game of the season," Barron said. "This is what football is supposed to be about: a little extra wiredness and acuteness to the senses as the week progresses."
Baker expects nothing less than a playoff berth after returning numerous proven upperclassmen. The Gators boast the area's leading rusher in quarterback Cameron Domangue (606 rushing yards, six touchdowns), whom Barron called a "doggone thoroughbred," and one of the area's top defensive players in linebacker Kellan Meeks (37 tackles).
South Walton will counter with fullback Bryant Adams, who has been a force on the ground for the Seahawks with 369 yards rushing and two touchdowns. David Bazylak is another key player who has combined to rush and receive for 294 yards and four touchdowns.
"I think we're really focused," Kellogg said. "We'll have our hands full, but if we play our game we should be OK."
Both teams expect the intensity to be fitting of a district opener.
"The stakes ante up now," Barron said.
