Baldwin runs onto the field as he's introduced prior to the ballgame, a scene any high school player would be proud to take part in.

The majority of the crowd sat on the shaded west side of the field, as evidenced by this shot of the cologuard and officials.

Baldwin wasn't in this shot, but it was one of the best ones this reporter took at the game..so here it is.

Corning's Jake McDonald (75) also represented 3A-3 and Clay County, and did a great job at left tackle. He and guard Nick Smith of Prescott (74) seemed to be joined at the hip both on and off the field.

Baldwin held down the end for the east kick-off team, and also held for PAT's and field goals on special teams.

After the shade moved many of Baldwin's supporters shifted to the east side of the field, including his dad and brothers. Coaches Harrell and Hendrix toughed-out the sun throughout the ballgame along with young Cade Harrell.
