SEBRING — Three Blue Streaks scored in double figures on Friday night to lead the Sebring boys basketball team to a 73-42 victory over LaBelle in the Streaks' final regular season game. Chris Grubb had 14 points, T.J. Williams had 13 and Sam Robinson added 11 in Sebring's final tune-up before the district tournament, which begins Tuesday at Palmetto. "We didn't play well at first, but we switched some things up and forced some turnovers," said Sebring coach Princeton Harris. "Our biggest thing now is staying humble — we haven't won anything yet." ...more

Tigers Edge Red Devils PALMETTO — Avon Park sophomore forward Cleveland Nobles scored a game-high 27 points, but 24 turnovers were too much to overcome as the Red Devils lost to Palmetto 64-62 in Class 4A-District 10 boys basketball on Friday night. "It was a strange game," said first-year Avon Park coach Luther Clemons. "We only had seven players because of some injuries, but we still had our chances to win. "Cleveland had a solid game and was able to dominate inside, we just didn't have much to go with it." ...more

LAKE PLACID — Goalies are often across the field when their teams score and usually miss out on the celebration. But in her last game at home, Lake Placid senior keeper Sydney Stewart got a little taste of what it was like to battle for position and see the ball hit the back of the net after she scored two goals within two minutes in the second half of the Green Dragons 6-0 victory over cross-county rival Avon Park at Roger Scarborough Stadium on Thursday. "This was the most amazing moment of my soccer career," Stewart said. "I'm still in disbelief. I wanted to score at least one goal before my career was done and God gave me two of them." Stewart's first goal came moments into the second half, when a pass from Erica Resendiz found her in single coverage. Some nice footwork and a shot from the left side found the net and a priceless expression came across her face as her teammates swarmed her. ...more
