The junior led the way in a 71-66 victory over Pine Crest, connecting on 9-of-19 from the field and a team-high 25 points and also dished out six assists.

What didn’t Fayard do for Niceville in a 47-33 win over Bartram Trail? The junior scored a team-high 15 points, collected eight boards, six steals and four assists.

Knauff has been stellar all season long for the Bulldogs and continued her excellence in the postseason as she scored 22 points in a 65-43 win over South Walton.

The senior dynamo was practically unstoppable in the Yellow Jackets’ 67-37 thrashing of Lake Wales, putting up a game-high 24 points in the victory.

Hardy is the real deal and she proved so once again in a 89-35 win over Sarasota Riverview, scoring 20 points and nabbing three steals.

It would be O’Leary scoring the game’s go-ahead basketball in the waning seconds, lifting the Indians to a thrilling 54-52 win on the road at Haines City. The senior scored a game-high 28 points.

No matter what Lake Highland Prep tried to do, they couldn’t contain the sophomore forward. Mignery finished with 24 points and 12 rebounds in a 78-54 win over the Highlanders.
