Fort Lauderdale Archbishop McCarthy 65, Tarpon Springs East Lake 58

After McCarthy grabbed a 17-13 lead at the end of the first quarter, East Lake had things going their way, leading by two at the half and three going into the final quarter.  McCarthy elevated the defensive pressure and it produced results.  East Lake got to playing too fast, committing turnovers that McCarthy turned into points.  McCarthy took the lead early in the final period and never looked back.

Jeremiah Cooper, a 5’10 rising senior, paced East Lake with 22 points.

Bradenton Braden River 47, Davenport 40

Juelz Bermudez, a 6’1 rising senior, led Davenport with 15 points.

Fort Lauderdale Nova Southeast University School 42, Sarasota Cardinal Mooney 37

Both teams found it difficult to score the entire contest.  With one period left to play, “U-School” led by just one at 27-26.  U-School extended its defense in the fourth quarter converting turnovers into scores to build a lead that would hold until the final buzzer.

Elijah Price, a 6’8 rising junior, had 12 points for Cardinal Mooney

Justis Clements, a 6’2 rising senior, led Eagle’s View with 16 points.
