Joe Young scored 17 points and pulled down 13 rebounds and Chris Grubb hit key 3-point shots late to lead the Sebring boys basketball team to its first district title since 2005 with a 53-49 victory over Palmetto in the final of the Class 4A-District 10 tournament at DeSoto High School.
The game was tight throughout, but the tenacity of the Sebring defense and Young's inside presence willed the Streaks to the title and a regional home game, to be played against the loser of District 9 runner-up Kathleen or Bartow, at 7 p.m. on Thursday.
Sebring trailed by three at the half but rallied to outscore the Tigers 20-8 in the pivotal third quarter, keyed by Young's seven points in the paint and Grubb's sharpshooting.
Palmetto was led by guard Donald Campbell with 12 points.
