Class 5A, District 8: Joe leads Titans into postseason

Quick Hits: A year ago, McKeel Academy was one game away from a trip to the RP Funding Center and the state semifinals, but after losing several key players, the Wilidcats enter the district tournament with a 1-7 district mark. The fifth-seed Wildcats travel to fourth-seed Mulberry for the opener Monday. The Panthers edged McKeel 50-49 in December and 38-36 in January.

Tenoroc is the second seed behind Avon Park – ranked 16th by Maxpreps.com – and is led by Leonaja Joe with 20.8 points and 13 rebounds. Alexandria Polingo follows with 10 points and Cat Chersestal with 8.7. The Titans need only to beat third-seed Lake Placid on Tuesday at home to reach the district championship game and the regional.
