SoFla Hoops - State Championship Edition

Well I just got back yesterday from Lakeland. It was a fun weekend, with lots of good games, and one truly GREAT game.

2007 champions:
• Class 6A – Ely (Pompano Beach)
• Class 5A – Lake Howell (Winter Park)
• Class 4A – Monsignor Pace (Miami)
• Class 3A – Florida Air (Melbourne)
• Class 2A – Arlington Country Day (Jacksonville)
• Class 1A – Pine Castle Christian (Orlando)

The Class 6A game between Dr. Phillips (Orlando) and Ely (Pompano Beach) was the best game of the weekend. Final Score 80-77 in Overtime.

After another year heading to Lakeland as a spectator, I think I took three things out of it:
1. I'm tired of watching, I want to coach at the State Championship
2. Florida still has some great basketball
3. The gap between the small 1A schools and the larger 6A schools is narrowing. A good 1A school can beat a good 6A school on any day, and this is great for high school basketball.
