FPC girls basketball ready for district final
After 24 games, the only blemish on the Lady Bulldogs' record came from a top-ranked Boca Raton team, just a day after FPC had just gone 12 rounds with, then, undefeated Ribault. Now, with the regular season finished, and Sandalwood wiped out in the district semi-final, there are three things looming for the hungry Dawgs: the district, regional and state championships.
If senior star player Tamara Henshaw has anything to with it, FPC is only getting started. The forward scored 11 points, grabbed nine boards, stole six passes and blocked five steals to lead her team past Sandalwood and into the district final against Westport at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 28, at FPC. Whether the girls win or lose, they will still go on to regional play, for a chance to repeat as region champions.

After a runner-up district finish, the Lady Bulldogs took third overall for the team at their regional meet. For individual results, Ashley Harris benched 170 pounds and clean & jerked 190 to win her regional championship, and Darbi Wilbanks benched 185 and clean & jerked 170 to secure her title, each going to the state finals. Drew Woodall, Taylor Eddy and Brooke Qualls all placed in the Top 6, which means they have to wait to see if their numbers will qualify for states.
