The Baldwin Indians had an improved season last year. They went 7-4 last season and made the playoffs, which was a huge step from their 3-7 record last season. The Indians played Madison County and lost by a decent margin, 42-7. Madison County made it all the way to the semifinals of the playoffs. Although the Indians lost early in the playoffs they are proud of the improvements, according to Head Coach Steve Shields.
Looking into this season, Baldwin is going to have a challenge with some key players leaving, like running back Isaiah Miller and defensive end Torri Singletary. They are now looking to their leadership of incoming senior Kolby Burns on the defensive line and wide receiver/free safety Frederick Curry.
With an improving team under coach Shields, the small town of Baldwin hopes to make a name for themselves with their football program. Besides the West Nassau game last season that they lost 37-35, all of Baldwin’s games were either won or lost by a big margin. The key this season is to shorten the gap of losses by a big margin and stay in it late in the games.
