Writer's picture: EricJonesEricJones

The Baldwin Braves wrapped up an incredible season with a deep playoff run, proving their resilience and ability to win in different ways. From dominant victories to nail-biting finishes, our Braves showed heart, skill, and the determination to compete at the highest level.


A Season Defined by Grit and Growth


Baldwin’s journey through the playoffs was nothing short of impressive. In the opening round of the playoffs, they dominated the Beach Bulldogs with a 28-point victory, flexing their ability to win big. Then, in the Sweet Sixteen, they showed their clutch factor, edging out Upson-Lee in a 60-57 nailbiter.




The Final Battle: Elite Eight Heartbreaker


Baldwin’s incredible run came to an end in the Elite Eight, where they fell 56-49 to Cedar Grove. It was a hard-fought game, with the Braves battling until the final buzzer. The loss closed out their season with a 23-8 record, capping off a stretch in which they won 14 of their last 18 games—a testament to their growth and perseverance.



The Road Ahead


Despite the season ending earlier than hoped, the Braves have proven they belong among the state’s elite. Coach Ben Smith and his staff have built a program that competes with the best, and the support from Brave Nation has been stronger than ever.


The "Back to Baldwin" culture is real, and this team is just getting started.


Congratulations, Baldwin Braves, on an unforgettable season! The future is bright.
