Continue ReadingIt had been a perfect year. Eleven straight wins and a district title.
For head coach Darren Keith White and his DeFuniak Springs Walton Braves, it was one of those seasons where things were coming together.
After a first-round state playoff win against rival South Walton, it was a second-round matchup against Pensacola Catholic, and this team was confident.
Back on October 13th, the Braves beat Pensacola Catholic in a tight 23-21 game. That win actually served as motivation as the Crusaders avenged that district title loss and put an end to the season with a convincing road win.
While that setback stung, it was also something that served as a rallying point in the off-season. Finishing the job in 2024 was something that this entire team looked at.
As we are under way in spring, the rising senior (2025) class is indeed taking a lead role, and with the summer ahead, they are ready to get back on the field.
Here are some of those 2025 prospects to watch in 2024:
