Excuse Me if I Get Nostalgic Today




I can't help but focus on school history today - a 20 year anniversary. It was 20 years ago TODAY that the Lady Eagles High School basketball team played in the state semi-finals, and then the finals of the Class A State Basketball Tournament. As a coach, it was one of the highlights of my life and a group of young ladies that started the year unranked in the state, and then ended the year #2 in the state! (We lost in the finals) They gave all that they had and we enjoyed a memorable journey that I will not forget. We were:

- the first state basketball game played in the Lakeland Civic Center

- the first team to score a point for a high school state basketball game in that location

- the team to win a state basketball game at the Lakeland Civic Center

- the first girls basketball team in SOUTHWEST FLORIDA BASKETBALL HISTORY to make it to the state finals

THANK YOU LADY EAGLES BASKETBALL 88-89!
