COCOA TIGERS WIN SEVENTH STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
FHSAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP RECAP & RESULTS:
The 2024 FHSAA state football championships have concluded and it’s only 225 days until fall camp opens in late July of 2025.
There weren’t many surprises if any in this year’s FHSAA state championships which were held at The Villages for the rural divisions and for 1A-7A at Kia Dade Field at Pit Bull Stadium in Miami.
In the 1A-7A classifications four teams, Jacksonville Raines, Jones, West Boca and Lakeland all entered their state championship game unbeaten. Only one of them, West Boca, left Miami without a blemish on their 2024 record as the Bulls finished the season a perfect 15-0.
Here in Brevard County, the Cocoa Tigers once again represented the 321 as they defeated Gadsden County, 38-27 to win their third straight state championship and seventh in program history.
However, the Tigers weren’t alone in winning consecutive state titles. Two other power house programs won a state championship in Chaminade-Madonna and St. Thomas and in doing so, the Lions and the Raiders captured their fourth and sixth consecutive state championships respectively.
There were three teams that reached the state title game that faced off against four Brevard County teams this past season. Two of them won a state championship with the other finishing as a state runner- up.
The county went 0-5 collectively against these teams. Venice, who defeated Cocoa and Miami Northwestern who took down Eau Gallie in the state semifinals, easily won the 7A and 3A state titles.
Osceola Kissimmee who defeated Melbourne once and Viera twice, could not get their powerful rushing attack on track and lost, 26-7 to West Boca in the 6A title game.
Below are the results and a short recap of each game,

5A: ST. THOMAS 34 LAKELAND 0
Many expected a better a game from the undefeated Lakeland Dreadnoughts (13-1) but betting against St. Thomas (12-3) in an FHSAA state championship game is never a wise thing to do as the Raiders rolled, 34-0 to add one more title to their Florida state record. St. Thomas has now won 16 FHSAA state championships, five more than Bolles.
This was the Raiders seventh straight title game appearance and sixth straight title win and for good measure it was their 12th state championship since 2010.
Ironically, The last time St. Thomas was beaten in a state title game was in back 2018 by Lakeland but on this night the Dreadnoughts had no answers for and consequently no points against the Raiders defense.
St. Thomas held Lakeland to 0-2 in the red zone, 2-12 on third down and they forced three turnovers.

The Bulls forced Osceola to punt on nine of their 11 possessions and held the Kowboys who averaged 280 yards on the ground per game this season to just 170 total.
West Boca led 10-0 after their first two possessions but led by only three at the half. However, the Bulls would hold Osceola to 32 yards in the second half scoring two touchdowns on two big pass plays, a 56 and 93 touchdown to put the game away.

STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS: 1
2024 (6A)
7A VENICE 52 LAKE MARY 19
The Venice offense produced video game like stays this past season as they averaged 50 points and 460 yards of offense per game. So why should the 7A state championship game be any different…..and it wasn’t.
The Indians scored 52 points and had 488 yards of offense as they ran the clock on Lake Mary (12-3) defeating the Rams 52-19.
Venice who had one of the most prolific offenses in the history of Florida High School football, finishes the season at 14-1.
The state title win was the fourth in program history and first since 2021.

There are 20 boys soccer teams that play in six classifications.
So far this season only one team is unbeaten and that distinction belongs to the Holy Trinity Tigers at 7-0.
Under sixth year head coach Adrian Moreno, the Tigers are ranked No.21 in the nation and No.11 in the state of Florida.
The Tigers returned many of the players that reached the FHSAA 3A Final Four last season and this season they’ll be looking to finish to the deal as they are currently the No.2 in all of 2A behind Maclay.
Titusville is also flexing their soccer muscles this season. The Terriers who are 7-1 are averaging five goals per game this season.
Titusville is led by junior Joseph Captain who has 12 goals and 7 assists (31) in just eight games. Elliott Langelier and Wyatt Moxley have combined for 17 goals and 14 assists this season.
Cocoa Beach is 6-1-1 this season and picked up two huge wins for the program.
They defeated their beachside rivals, Satellite back on November 8. It was the first time in over 12 years CCB defeated the Scorpions.
CCB also picked up the programs first ever win over 6A state runner-up Viera defeating the Hawks 2-1 back on November 15. Their lone loss is to Heritage.
The Minutemen are led by senior Max Perez who has 12 goals this season. CCB is just three wins shy of matching their win total from last season.
Merritt Island and Satellite each have five wins this season and in 6A District 6, every Brevard team is playing .500 or better soccer.
In 6A-6 the Melbourne Bulldogs are building on their big district championship win last season as they are 6-2-1 this season.
The Bulldogs two setbacks have come to No.33 Florida ranked Centennial and Satellite.
The Bulldogs are led by two seniors and a sophomore in (Sr.) Serge Dalgalarrando, (Sr.) Stephan Nicolas and (So.) Matt Faucher who have combined for 15 goals this season. The Bulldogs spread the ball out as nine different players have found the back of the net.
The 6A state runners up Viera Hawks are adjusting to a new head coach and the loss of several key players that saw the Hawks post a 96-10-7 (.850) over the past four seasons.
Viera is 4-2 under new head coach Nicholas Nazon. Their only two setbacks are to No.21 Holy Trinity and CCB.
The Heritage Panthers are 6-3 this season and are responsible for Cocoa Beach’s only setback as they defeated the Minutemen, 3-1 on November 13.
The Panthers have played a very tough schedule to start the season with their only setbacks coming to No.21 Holy Trinity, Satellite and Titusville, three teams that have 19 combined wins.
From an individual standpoint, Holy Trinity’s Keegan Harrison leads the county with 13 goals and is in the top 25 in the state while Titusville’s Joseph Captain and Cocoa Beach’s Max Perez are second in goals with 12 and are 31st in the state.
The Tigers Jake Wells leads the county with nine assists and is top 20 in the state and so is Wyatt Moxley who is second with 8 assists. Right behind him is Merritt Island’s Justin Brewer and Joesph Captain who have 7.
Captain leads the county in overall points with 31.

BSN COLLEGE FOOTBALL: NO.15 SOUTH CAROLINA SET TO FACE NO.20 ILLINOIS IN 79TH EDITION OF THE CHEEZ-IT CITRUS BOWL ON DECEMBER 31 AT 3:00 PM ON ABC:
It’ll be the SEC’s South Carolina Gamecocks and the Big10’s Illinois Fighting Illini in the 79TH edition of the Cheez-It Bowl on New Years Eve at 3:00 pm at Camping World Stadium in Orlando. The game will be televised on ABC.
The Gamecocks finished the 2024 regular season with a 9-3 record, including a 5-3 mark in the SEC, and finished 15th in the final College Football Playoff rankings.
The Fighting Illini also posted a 9-3 overall record and went 6-3 in the Big Ten to finish 20th in the CFP. This will mark the first gridirion meeting between the two state flagship universities.
South Carolina is favored by 10.5 points, according to the sports book at FanDuel.
The Gamecocks ended the regular season on a six game winning streak including a win over ACC Champ Clemson and held out hope that a CFP Playoff berth was possible but in the end, the Gamecocks will return to Camping World Stadium for the first time since 2014 when Steve Spurrier and Jadaveon Clowney defeated Wisconsin in the Capital One Bowl.
According to published and South Carolina head coach Frank Beamer noted, the Gamecocks were reportedly chosen over Alabama for this prestigious bowl game, marking a significant moment for the program as they look to close out their season on a high note.
Initially, there was strong speculation that the team might play in the Gator Bowl, but South Carolina’s strong season and its high-profile storylines have landed them in the Citrus Bowl, a more prestigious opportunity.
No.20 Illinois is making their first appearance in Orlando since 1990 when RB Howard Griffith and QB Jeff George led Illinois to a 31-21 victory over Virginia in the Citrus Bowl.
Illinois has 17 players from Florida, the highest in the Big 10. Former Holy Trinity standout Seth Coleman is one of them.
As for South Carolina, former Rockledge standout Raheim ‘Rocket’ Sanders is the Gamecocks running back. Despite battling injuries this season he still had a great year. The Rocket finished the 2024 season with 183 carries for 881 yards and 11 touchdowns.
The Rocket is NFL Draft eligible and has a decision to make on whether he wants to opt out of the game. However, according to head coach Frank Beamer, Sanders or none of the South Carolina players have opted out.
As of last week, Beamer said no players had told him they will be opting out and he was quick to point out that that his team knows what’s at stake for the program.
“We’re gonna handle it the right way,” Beamer told the media. “There were some examples last season of teams that dealt with disappointment and handled it the right way and handled it the wrong way. We talked about being the team that handles it the right way.”
Beamer is undoubtedly making reference to the 2023 Florida State Seminoles who didn’t reach the then four team college football playoff despite an undefeated season.
When the Seminoles lined up against Georgia in the Orange Bowl they were missing over a dozen key players that either opted out or hit the transfer portal and as a result the Bulldogs rolled FSU by 60.
Other Gamecocks that have decisions to make are likely NFL Draft picks such as defensive tackle TJ Sanders and edge Kyle Kennard.

BSN COLLEGE FOOTBALL: NO.13 MIAMI TO FACE NO.18 IOWA STATE IN POP TARTS BOWL: GAME SCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY DECEMBER 28 AT 3:30 ON ABC:
While No.13 Miami was left out of the 12 team College Football Playoffs they will stay home so to speak for their bowl game as head coach Mario Cristobal and his Hurricanes will take on No.18 Iowa State in the Pop Tarts Bowl at Camping World Stadium in Orlando on Saturday December 28 at 3:30.
The game will be televised on ABC and a link to purchase tickets from the Bowl’s website is below.
The big question for the Hurricanes is what team will be on the field. NFL draft eligible players have set a trend of opting out of bowl games that do not involve playing for a national championship.
For the Hurricanes, Quarterback Cam Ward, running back Damien Martinez, wide receiver Xavier Restrepo, tight end Elijah Arroyo, offensive lineman Jalen Rivers, and defensive tackle Simeon Barrow are all NFL Draft prospects and each has a decision to make in terms of whether or not to play in the Pop Tarts Bowl.
Ironically, Miami’s last win in a bowl game was at Camping World Stadium in Orlando when they defeated West Virginia, 31-14, in the 2016 Russell Athletic Bowl.
Head coach Mario Cristobal is 3-4 in bowl games, including a 31-24 loss to Rutgers in the Pinstripe Bowl last year.
While the Hurricanes finished the with the best offense in D1 college football leading the country with 44 points and 538 yards per game, we don’t know because of opt-outs is if that’s the offense that will be on the field on December 28
What we do know is the Miami defense has struggled at times this season. The Hurricanes allowed 25 points and 331 yards per game this season. That’s 64th and 27th respectively in the country.
The Iowa State Cyclones (10-3) were beaten soundly in the Big12 Conference Championship on Saturday falling to Arizona State, 45-19.
Quarterback Rocco Becht led Iowa State's offense throwing for 3,235 yards with 22 touchdowns and nine interceptions while completing 59.3 percent of his passes.
The Cyclones feature to 1,000 yards receivers in Jayden Higgins (1,183 yards, 9 TDs) and Jaylin Noel (1,077 yards, 7 TDs).
The Iowa State rushing attack is led by Carlos Hansen, who totaled 670 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Iowa State allowed 21.5 points per game on defense which ranked No. 33 in the country.
Defensive back Beau Freyler led the Cyclones on defense with 82 tackles, three tackles for loss, and two interceptions.
Iowa State Head coach Matt Campbell is in his ninth season at and he has a 63-51 record with the Cyclones.
This season was the first ten-win regular season for Campbell at Iowa State. Campbell has amassed a 98-66 record between his time at Toledo and Iowa State and he is 4-5 in bowl games.
Iowa State lost to Memphis, 36-26, in the 2023 Liberty Bowl.
Originally titled the Blockbuster Bowl, the Pop Tarts Bowl game was born in Miami, Florida, in 1990 and thrived in its first year with a marquee matchup between Penn State and Florida State which drew more than 74,000 fans.
After moving to Orlando in 2001, the game has continued to be successful, with several different title sponsors throughout the years.
In 2023 Pop-Tarts signed a multi-year agreement with Florida Citrus Sports to be the new title sponsor of the game.

BSN: WATCH ALL 17 JAYVAN BOGGS CATCHES AS COCOA WIDE RECEIVER SETS STATE RECORD AND WILLS TIGERS TO A WIN:
Jayvan Boggs has made a lot of defensive backs regret they lined up against him in his time as a Cocoa Tiger wide receiver.
No defensive back is immune, none. Not even a five star like current FSU freshman and former Venice DB Charles Lester III who Boggs beat for 10 catches, 218 yards and three touchdowns last season.
Not even the mighty St. Thomas Aquinas Raiders and their constant bevy of three, four and five star defensive backs.
Last season Boggs shredded the St. Thomas secondary like swiss cheese as the Raiders boasted two four star Penn State Commits, in Conrad Hussey and King Mack and current Pittsburgh freshman DB and former three star standout Allen Bryant or current University of Miami DB, Ryan Mack.
After Friday night’s state semifinal game you can add recent Kansas Jayhawks signee, and Cardinal Mooney DB Chris Mcoorkle to the list of top notch high school recruits that Jayvan Boggs has, for lack of better term, torched.
Boggs caught 17 passes for 378 yards and three touchdowns to help lead Cocoa to a 31-21 win and advance to the programs fourth straight FHSAA championship and 10th since 2008.
While it’s tough to total up yards after the catch in high school, Boggs likely had 200 plus yards after the catch as he broke tackles and ankles all night long in Sarasota.
Not only were his 378 yards a new Florida High School record as Boggs surpassed Lake Nona’s Ryan Sousa who had 358 in 2013 game but many of his catches came on critical third and longs converting first downs for Cocoa.
Catching 186 passes over two seasons takes a toll on a body and Boggs felt it as Cardinal Mooney kept coming and hitting last night.
Boggs was slow to get up a few times but this is what makes Jayvan so special, he did get up and his will to win and his refusal to lose was evident on every play and while football is a team sport, and Cocoa has a ton of talent, Boggs put the Tigers offense on his back many times in this game and it felt like he carried them across the finish line.
Boggs started fast as he scored on the games official second play the game. The 2nd and 21 pass from QB Brady Hart was 13-yards across the middle as Boggs caught the ball and then spun out of two tackles and then outran four Cougar defenders to the endzone. Did we mention he’s pretty fast too.
His second touchdown came at the end of the first quarter. After catching a 15-yard crossing route, he again broke out of tackles and outran the defense to the two yard line. He caught the touchdown pass that finished that drive giving Cocoa a 14-0 lead.
The Tigers and Boggs final touchdown came with 9:17 to play in the third quarter as Hart hit Jayvan over two defenders right in bread basket at the right front right pylon and of course Boggs controlled the ball and got his foot in for the score, another thing of beauty.
The biggest play may not have been a touchdown at all but a conversion on third down and 23 with 4:57 to play in the third quarter and the Tigers backed up at their own 25-yard line.
Boggs caught a nicely thrown ball by Hart at the Cocoa 41 and after spinning out of two more tackles he raced the additional seven yards for the first down and then-some as he reached the Cardinal Mooney 32 yard-line flipping the field and stealing momentum back. Momentum the Cougars had clearly taken back prior to that Cocoa possession.
That play literally felt like he personally stuck the final dagger into Cardinal Mooney.
Boggs now has 93 catches for 2,020 yards and 20 touchdowns this season. He has equaled the number of catches from last season and surpassed his yardage total of 1,493 in 2023 by 527 yards.
He is three touchdowns shy of his 2023 number when he was named the best high school football player in the state by the Florida Dairy Farmers Association and he has done all of this in one less game so far.
He has a chance to again make history on Thursday in the state championship game. He is just 139 yards shy of the state record 2,159 receiving yards in a season set by Venice’s Jaivin Heiligh in 2017.
Boggs is averaging 144 yards per game this season and he’s had 139 or more yards receiving in five games this season.
If Boggs doesn’t repeat as the Florida Dairy Farmers Mr. Football for 2024, which has never happened since the award was first given out in 1992, something is seriously wrong. Yes, even over previous great winners like Duante Culpepper, Tim Tebow, Travis Henry, Derek Henry and Dalvin Cook, Boggs deserves to be the first repeat winner.
In two seasons Boggs has 186 catches for 3,513 yards and 43 touchdowns, that’s 18.8 yards per catch as a high school player.
Boggs flipped his college from UCF to Florida State on Wednesday and there is no doubt that new Seminoles offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn is licking his chops waiting for Boggs.
Jayvan told BSN live on air during the signing that the flip was due in part to the Knights former head coach making the move to join Mike Norvell in Tallahassee.
Boggs is a perfect fit for a program that seemingly lost their will to win this season and he’ll no doubt ball out on Thursday at Pit Bull Stadium and next fall at Doak Campbell Stadium.
BOGGS NOTABLE GAMES AGAINST HIGHLY RANKED TEAMS AND HIGHLY RECRUITED PLAYERS
2023
Against Venice and five star defensive back and current FSU freshman Charles Lester, Boggs had 10 catches for 218-yards and three scores.
Against St. Thomas, who currently has four defensive back at Penn State, Pittsburgh and Miami, Boggs had 11 catches for 180 yards and four touchdowns.
Against Treasure Coast’s Northern Illinois three star commit Shamir Sterlin, Boggs added three more touchdowns
2024
Vs. IMG 6 catches 124 yards, 1 TD
Vs. Venice 10 catches 253 yards and 3 TD’s
Vs. Norland 8 catches for 107 yards. 1 TD
Vs. Cardinal Mooney 17 catches 378 yards 3 TD’s

BSN VOLLEYBALL: MERRITT ISLAND MUSTANGS BELLA SCHWANTZ NAMED THE 2024 BSN VOLLEYBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR:
Congratulations to Merritt Island senior Bella Schwantz, who has been voted and named The 2024 Brevard Sports Network overall volleyball player of the year .
Schwantz was a six rotation player who never came off the floor and her play in big matches often propelled the Mustangs to big wins.
She led the Mustangs with 284 kills and was second on the team with 228 digs and 53 aces in 76 sets played which is 14 and 15 less sets played, respectively than our runners-up for this award.
Schwantz is a very well rounded player that is also one of the top passers in the county.
Bella received a total of 362 serves and passed at a 2.2 average as she took the majority of serve receive responsibility while being a go to hitter and that requires control, power and a high court IQ which she most certainly possesses.
In nine of those matches against teams like Satellite, Viera, Holy Trinity, and Bishop Moore, Schwantz averaged 12-kills and 8 digs.
As a Mustang Bella has left her legacy at a school where that’s not easy to do on the volleyball court. This season she was a big reason why the team finished 23-6 and she leaves the Island a part of three teams that posted a record of 63-21.
Bella helped lead the Mustangs to their 18th, 19th and 20th straight district championships.
She is also a Cape Coast Conference champion and helped lead the Mustangs to a final four and two regional finals.
Bella, who is committed to play volleyball at Flagler College next fall actually started at the varsity level for five years in Brevard County.
Schwantz spent her 8th grade and freshman seasons at Edgewood Jr/Sr High where she was a part of the 2021 16-5, district championship team.
Combining her stats as a Red Wolf and Mustang, Bella ends her high school career with 1,105 kills, 987 digs, 215 aces and 94 total blocks.
Congratulations Bella on a great season and a stellar career in Brevard County.

VIERA HAWKS HALEY BEIGH NAMED BSN’S OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR: SPONSORED BY BEACH WAVE VOLLEYBALL CLUB:
Congratulations to Viera Hawks senior Haley Beigh who has been named the 2024 BSN, Offensive Player of the Year sponsored by Beach Wave Volleyball Club.
No other player in #BrevardCounty struck more fear in the hearts of opposing players when she stepped to the service line than Beigh did, especially with a match on the line.
There’s no better example than when Haley stepped to the line in the fifth set of the Cape Coast Conference Volleyball tournament south championship.
With the Hawks down three match points trailing 14-11 against Bayside, Beigh remained on the service line through two timeouts and by the time she was done serving, the Hawks had snatched victory from the jaws of defeat winning 16-14 to advance to the CCC tournament finals.
Beigh led the county with 89 service aces this season which was 12th in the state of Florida. She was second in the county with 324 kills.
Haley wasn’t afraid to play defense as she was second on her team with 343 digs and much like our defensive player of the year, Jasmine Calton, Beigh could have easily been named the overall player of the year.
Beigh, who swings a big left hand and hits a ball as hard as anyone in the state, ended her career at Viera with 831 kills, 637 digs and is the programs all time leader in aces for one season and second behind Izzy Starke in kills for a season.
Beigh is the most decorated volleyball player to step on a court at Viera.
She has been on four teams that won 70 percent of their matches posting a four season record of 82-34.
Beigh and her teams won two Cape Coast Conference title, four district and three regional championships and finished as state runners-up twice in 2022 and 2023.
Haley recently signed her national letter of intent to play volleyball at highly successful Colby College which is located in Waterville, Maine.
BSN broadcast a lot of Viera Hawk matches over the past four seasons and it will be weird not see No.8 at the line shooting a missile over the net or lining herself up to swing her big left hand for what most of the time was a huge kill at a critical time in a match.
Congratulations Haley on all your success and good luck at Colby. This post and award is sponsored by Beach Wave Volleyball Club.
BSN will release our OVERALL player of the year on Sunday night. We will also release an All-Star Team of just eight players as well .
BSN VOLLEYBALL: BAYSIDE BEARS JASMINE CALTON NAMED BSN’S DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR: SPONSORED BY BEACH WAVE VOLLEYBALL CLUB:
Congratulations to Bayside Bears senior Jasmine Calton who has been named the 2024 BSN, Defensive Player of the Year sponsored by Beach Wave Volleyball Club
Let’s be clear about Jasmine, she could have easily been named the overall player of the year as well. In fact, we were all set to release these awards Thanksgiving week and went back and looked at everything again.
While we are always second guessing these decisions, what we do know is that Jasmine is undoubtedly one of the top three players in Brevard County and she leaves a legacy of outstanding play and higher expectations for volleyball teams to follow at Bayside High School.
Her legacy as a player at Bayside, along with fellow senior Jenna Walters, is becoming the first two
student-athletes to sign a National letter of intent to play division one volleyball.
Calton, who signed to play
at Presbyterian College ended her career breaking every hitting and blocking record in the history of Bayside High school.
Once again along with Walters, the legacy includes winning. There were 54 victories over of her impressive four year career which includes the most wins in a season (17 this year) for Bayside and the first ever appearance in the FHSAA state tournament (2023) and first ever win in the FHSAA state tournament (2024) for the Bears.
Calton is an all-around player who this season led all of Brevard county with 108 blocks. That total was also the third most in the state of Florida.
She also added 112 digs this season but her presence at the net altered game plans and offenses.
While this is a defensive player of the year award, Calton finished first in the state of Florida and 16th in the country with a .491 hitting percentage and was tops in Brevard County with 345 kills
She ends her career with 930 kills and 327 blocks, both Bayside program records. She also had 215 career digs.
This was one of the most difficult player of year awards to pick in any sport since BSN launched in 2020 and while we’ve name co-players of the year in the past in other sports it’s not something we like to do and feel it’s the easy way out.
The girls are outstanding athletes, top notch competitors in their sport and there are no ties in volleyball so we didn’t think it was fair to have a tie with this.
What this tells us is that every year the level of competition and players get better in Brevard County and we expect this trend to continue with number of student-athletes playing club.
Congratulations Jasmine on a job well done in your career and good luck at Presbyterian.

BSN VOLLEYBALL COACH OF THE YEAR SPONSORED BY Martinez Construction Services: DARRAH BOWEN BREVARD HEAT FIREHAWKS:
Brevard HEAT Firehawks head coach Darrah Bowen has been named the 2024 BSN Volleyball Coach of the Year.
Bowen guided the Firehawks to a 24-2 record this season winning a district and regional championship.
The region title win was the first ever in program history which led to the Brevard Heat reaching the FHSAA 1A Final Four for the first time.
The Heat won 69 of the 85 sets they played in this season. Through their final 10 matches of the season the Heat dropped just five sets.
Bowen and the Heat are on an amazing three year run. Aside from finishing the 2022 and 2024 regular season with just one loss, Bowen has guided her team to a record of 60-12 during this span winning nearly 80 percent of the 247 sets played.
Congratulations to Darrah Bowen and the Brevard Heat on a great season.
Other Coaches in the running included Sarah Wayne from the Viera Hawks and Nicole Hunt of the Bayside Bears
Wayne lost eight seniors and two players who chose to concentrate on other sports from a state runner-up team from last season leaving the Hawks with a lot of young players. However, Wayne’s Hawks climbed out of an early 1-5 and 2-6 start to finish 16-13. The Hawks won another district championship and reached the regional finals for a fourth straight season.
Coach Nicole Hunt guided her Bears to a program record 17 wins, their first FHSAA state tournament win and their first trip to the regional semifinals. Coach Hunt also had two players sign to play with Division One schools.
