By: Matt Rothman
It was rivalry night in Coral Springs on Wednesday between Coral Glades and J.P. Taravella boys basketball.
The Jaguars, who came in as the two seed, defeated the Trojans for their 17th win of the season in overtime 59-56. Despite falling in their only matchup in the regular season, Coral Glades will play for a District Championship.
Coral Glades Head Coach Stefan Whittingham said his boys are resilient and refused to lose tonight.
“Down the stretch, we were down seven, and we just made winning plays that allowed us to get it to overtime, and we knew once we got to overtime, we were winning,” he said. “Taravella is a strong team, and it meant even more for us to be able to knock them out after they beat us in the regular season.”
Next, the Jaguars will play top-seeded Cypress Bay High School in the District Final on Friday, Feb. 10. The Lightning are the top seed and went 17-6 this season before defeating Western High School in the Semifinals.
