“I think we finished the first half of our season great, we’re ranked number 42 in the state, and number 1 in our districts, we’re even 11-5. If we keep it up the way we’re playing, I think we could win our districts out and we could even go to regionals with the way we are playing and the talent on this team and the team chemistry that we have, I truly believe we’re the best team in Broward County.” Donovan Swain, starting shooting guard, sophomore, number 5.
The team is looking to end the season off great and the team wants to finish out their season strong, going through some tough games but hopes to finish out undefeated for the remainder of the season and win the rest of their tough schedule.
“We just keep going up in the rankings and I love it. I genuinely believe that we are going to win districts this year 100 percent, without a doubt. We’re the best team in our District class and I believe we can compete with some of the best teams in Florida and I believe that for sure.” Anthony Valdes, senior, number 3, 6th man guard.
This well-rounded, all-around, very highly skilled talented team has a very bright future ahead of them and with the winning pace they’re at, who knows what the future has to hold for them.
