2x Champion: Griffin wins state titles at rival high schools
PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WMBB) – Local baseball standout, Rayce Griffin earned his second state championship this spring, finishing his high school career with rings at Holmes County and Chipley. Griffin, a Bonifay native, began his high school career at Chipley and helped lead the Tigers to their program's first state championship in 2023. He returned to Holmes County his junior and senior seasons and helped lead the Blue Devils to winning the 2025 state championship. Griffin finished his senior season with a .481 AVG, 32 R, 39 H, and 26 RBI. Media members and his teammates joked with him about being the first player in history to win a state championship with two of the biggest rivals in the Panhandle. Griffin said the experience of the first state title helped prepare him to win another as a senior, but when he reflects upon his high school career, he will always be a Blue Devil. 'It's home. I came over here to win a state championship with them,' Griffin said. 'I'm doing it for the people back home. And, I mean, the first one was whatever, but this one means a lot. Coach Powell, all year he was telling us to keep our nose down and stay humble. And that's what we did.' Griffin will continue his baseball career in college, joining Gulf Coast State College this upcoming fall. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
