When the Orlando Sentinel claimed “Florin will be relied upon heavily to carry Braves” on Nov. 11, they overlooked freshman Emily Colvin. She played little to none in the first quarter, but came in during the second and scored three baskets immediately, making the score 15-5. Florin had two assists. Martin received an assist from Colvin and scored a lay up. Colvin scored for the fourth time directly after the assist. Sophomore Cassandra Ketchum scored her only and the first three pointer of the game. Florin was fouled on her drive to the basket; she scored the lay up and made her free throw.
Starting the half ahead 30-14, several fouls on both teams were committed and slowed the game’s pace. Colvin had an assist to Ketchum who scored two points. Florin scored a three pointer and a basket.
Continuing the team’s lead, Martin had a reverse lay up and Attaway had a block. By the end of the game, Florin had 18 points and Colvin had 13.
The team will be traveling to Osceola High School for the Thanksgiving Tournament on Nov. 21. The time is to be announced. Check http://booneathletics.ocps.net/sport.asp?sid=97 for more information.
