TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The Florida High Seminoles take the court in the Class 5A State Semifinals on Wednesday, and they got to Lakeland by winning an overtime thriller Saturday night over Fernandina Beach.
The Seminoles got a fond farewell Tuesday morning from students and faculty at Florida High, and rightfully so. This is their first trip to the Final Four since 2007, when the Noles won their second of back to back State Championships.
This team now preps for a good Cardinal Gibbons squad, but are they changing anything? No, they're just ready to play Florida High hoops.
"Play hard. Play hard," said head coach Darryl Marshall. "We're going to continue to run the floor, we're not going to change our game. We're not scared of anyone, and we're coming down there with attitude, same attitude we had all year. Going down there, it's just another game, yes there's a little bit more at stake, but it's just another game. Our girls play year round. We play in different venues since the summer, so we're used to it."
The Seminoles hit the floor at 2:00 on Wednesday in Lakeland for the Semifinal against Cardinal Gibbons.
