8A-3 District Champion
First Coast (18-7)
History was made at First Coast when the Lady Buccaneers defeated Lee 43-36 to capture their first Girls Basketball District Championship in School History! Head Coach Kenny Kallina knows talent when he sees it, and he is not one to mince words when it comes to his thoughts of who the best player in the area is. His very own Moriah Steele.
Congrats to Moriah Steele for being the 1st Lady Buc to achieve 1000 Career Points … National Honor Society and one of the leading scorers in Florida blessed to coach you! pic.twitter.com/Kh0IZYIHUt

Steele has led the Lady Bucs with 18.4 ppg and achieved an historic feat of her own by scoring her 1,000th career point in school history. She achieved this by also maintaining her distinction as a National Honor Society student. Steele is not the only prime time player on the team. Alexus Bryant leads in rebounding with 13.0 rpg and is second in scoring with 14.7 ppg. She is a force in the middle with her height and is one of the main reasons First Coast is moving on. They’ll face Fleming Island in the first round of the playoffs.
Score: Fleming Island -69 First Coast -32

8A-3 District Runner Up:
Lee (12-12)
It’s been a season of ups and downs for Lee. They started the season undefeated, but then ran into some tough competition and tough breaks during the season. However the Lady Generals found themselves in the playoffs and Coach Derrell Johnson will rely on freshman Jerzey Johnson (9.1ppg) to power the unit against Bartram Trail in he first round.
Bartram Trail 57 Lee 35
