SCOTT SCORES 1,000TH CAREER POINT
Scott reached an impressive milestone during the game when he scored his 1,000th career point.
HENRY HURST IS A PROSPECT TO KNOW
Hurst, a junior guard for East Lake, didn't light up the scoreboard Friday night, but he pulled down multiple impressive rebounds and showed that he is a threat from the perimeter. Expect NAIA and NCAA Division II programs to begin recruiting him this summer.
WHO WILL ALONSO PLAY IN REGIONALS?
The Ravens will be the No. 4 seed in Class 7A, Region 2 and will likely host the No. 5 seed Dr. Phillips (Orlando) on February 17.
Dr. Phillips lost to Olympia in double-overtime in their district final Friday night.
COLE GINGELESKI TOO MUCH FOR EAST LAKE
Gingeleski, Alonso's 6-foot-11 junior center, racked up 11 rebounds and altered multiple shots in the paint to help Alonso secure the win.
