Sebring Boys Hoops Rumble Past Frostproof

Devin Clarke scored a game-high 19 points and point guard Chris Grubb had a season-best 16 to lead the Sebring boys basketball team to a 78-57 romp over Frostproof on Thursday.

Streaks head coach Princeton Harris liked what he saw from his Blue Streaks, but remained hungry for perfection.

"I got a chance to see a lot of what I wanted from this team, but I still want to see better production from the free-throw line," Harris said. "We had so many fast-break points off our press, that I didn't get to see a lot of our half-court game, but I like what I've seen from this team heading into our district games."

Kevin Toney finished the game with 13 points and Nate Orosco had 11 to give the Streaks a balanced scoring attack against the Bulldogs.

Sebring is back in action today when they travel to face Sarasota Booker in a Class 4A-District 10 showdown. Game time is set for 6:30 p.m.

Sebring is back in action on Tuesday when they host the same DeSoto squad at Firemen's Field. Game time is set for 7:30 p.m.

GIRLS SOCCER: Sebring 1, DeSoto 1

ARCADIA - Maxime Copely scored at the 15-minute mark and Amanda Grimaldo made an amazing save in goal to help Sebring to a 1-1 tie with DeSoto in a Class 4A-District 10 match on Thursday.

Grimaldo made a terrific save on a misdirected shot that should have scored, but the sophomore made a dive to stop the ball and preserve the tie.

"Amanda really came up huge for us, as she does every night," said SHS head coach Steve Ashley. "We had our chances to score, but DeSoto is a vastly improved team from last season."

Sebring will get a second look at DeSoto when they host the Bulldogs at Firemen's Field on Tuesday. Kick-off is set for 6 p.m.
