LAKELAND, Fla. The Fort Myers girls’ basketball team found themselves in familiar territory Thursday night as they continue to pursue a second consecutive state title.

After a rough first half, the Green Wave triumphed over Orlando’s Edgewater High School 56-28.

“We didn’t come out and play like we wanted to in the first half, but we picked it up late in the second quarter, the we really picked it up in that second half,” said head coach Chad Terrell.

The Green Wave will face a more formidable opponent in the championship game Saturday against Fort Walton Beach High School at at 8 p.m.
