The Red Devils, who arrived at Palmetto High School 90 minutes later than scheduled due to a bussing mix-up, were led by 11 points from Alonzo Robertson and 10 points from Virgil Cooper. The loss ends No-5-seeded Avon Park's season, while the No. 4-seeded Wildcats advance to face top-seeded DeSoto on Friday night at 7:30 p.m.
