| | | | Magic enter key stretch of season to rise in East standings | Lake Highland Prep makes it 5 straight girls basketball state championships | Messi, Súarez each score twice as host Inter Miami routs Orlando City | | | | The top players in Florida will soon be making more than the embarrassing pittance the state pays its high school coaches. | | | | | The Magic have defeated the Pistons three times this season but Orlando knows Sunday's game vs. Detroit won't be easy. "We've said it time and time again about this team, they are not their record," coach Jamahl Mosley said about the 50-loss Pistons. | | | | | Lexi Blue now has a ring for every finger on her shooting hand. Alongside the memories of winning every FHSAA girls basketball state championship game she played in since starting for Lake Highland Prep as an eighth grader. The Highlanders won their fifth consecutive championship with 4 senior starters. | | | | | State titles were won by Winter Springs, Osceola and Harmony boys wrestlers, while Lake Highland Prep won another girls hoops state title. Softball winners included Harmony, Lake Nona and Mount Dora Christian, while Montverde Academy boys basketball finished the regular season undefeated. | | | | | After coming up short in three previous years, Winter Springs senior Ryan Phillips stood on top of the podium after an 8-4 decision over Lake Gibson's Christian Fretwell. | | | | | West Orange conceded two goals in the first half and never recovered vs. Boca Raton in the FHSAA Class 7A boys soccer state final Saturday night in DeLand. The Warriors fell to 0-3 in state championship games since 2013. | | | | | The Lions fell to 0-1-1 in MLS competition. | | | | | No. 8 Iowa State used a smothering trap defense that confounded and confused the Knights throughout much of the game, forcing a season-high 22 turnovers as the Cyclones hung on for a 60-52 win on Saturday. | | | | | The Gators, tied for fourth in the SEC coming in, had won nine of their past 11 and looked on the way to another victory. Their late fade may have cost them a shot at a top-four seed and a little extra rest before the SEC Tournament in two weeks. | | | | | After the teams combined to shoot better than 51% in the first half when Georgia Tech took a 44-41 lead, the percentages plunged in the second half when they went 3 of 24 to start. The Yellow Jackets had 21 offensive boards, to pile up 21 second-chance points. | | | |
