The wins keep coming for Winter Springs as the Bears close in on district play. They're streaking in January, with big wins over Dr. Phillips, Lyman and Oviedo.
The playoffs are approaching for many Seminole County teams, and some are sporting records strong enough to make deep runs into the regionals.
Surprisingly, Hagerty is one of them, with the boys scoring a 53-50 win over Lyman and a 57-37 blowout over Berkeley Prep in Tampa last week. On defense the Huskies have proven a force to contend with, keeping many teams in the single digits in at least one quarter per game.
After a very strong opening to the season, Lyman has slowed down, with a 9-8 record overall. Most of the team's losses have come in January. The Greyhounds are 1-5 since the new year. That's bad news for the team's playoff chances, as all of those losses have come against conference teams.
Leading the Greyhounds, Chris Atkins has averaged 13.6 points per game.
Oviedo's boys team has struggled to put streaks together this season, but hasn't lost more than one in a row since the start of the season. The Lions are now 15-7, despite big losses to district rivals including Winter Springs. Pacing the team, 6-foot 8-inch tall center Greg Dorleus has proven as athletic as he is imposing, scoring nearly 13 points per game and averaging more than six rebounds per game.
The Lake Howell Silver Hawks have continued to struggle in an up-and-down season. After a few dominating performances early on, they've rarely won by a double-digit point spread in the second half of the season.
Seminole's abysmal season continues after they lost their first 10 games. They've since won a little less than a handful, but lost nearly 20.
