LAKELAND — It may be a repeat performance.
Top-ranked Lake Highland Prep dominated Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons on Wednesday, cruising to a 69-34 FHSAA girls basketball Class 4A state semifinal victory to earn a shot at back-to-back state titles.
The Highlanders (28-3) will face Brooks DeBartolo (26-4) of Tampa for the championship at 8:05 p.m. Thursday at The Lakeland Center.
“I think we are well prepared. Everyone says they are choosing us to win but I don’t think that gives up any edge,” said Lake Highland senior point guard Jordan Lewis, who finished with 12 points and and six rebounds. “Everyone is still going to play their hardest.”
LHP dominated from the tap, taking a commanding 19-2 first-quarter lead which moved to 34-9 by the half. Freshman Koi Love scored 12 first-half points from her wing position for the Highlanders.
“The first half we just wanted to come out and swing and keep swinging,” said Love, who finished with 18 points and nine rebounds.
The Highlanders had four players reach double figures. Rachel Jablonski also scored 18 points and Tyra Cox finished with 14.
“Our preparation has always been to come out hard,” Lake Highland Prep head coach Al Honor said. “Part of our job in the postseason is to work hard on our defense and come in with a certain edge.”
