Our Lady Panthers did it once again! On Saturday night our girls took on Winter Haven High School’s Lady Blue Devils. It was another rivalry game only because our Lady Panthers put the Blue Devils out last year in the state semifinal game. It was a close game 3 out of the 4 quarters. In the last quarter, our Lady Panthers had a twelve point lead with about four minutes left in the game, but somehow the Blue Devils caught up. The Blue Devils Erica Lanier drained some crucial three’s as time was running down and also Shaquoya Green for the Blue Devils drove to the basket with 7 seconds left in the game adding two points to send the game into overtime.  After playing to a 38-38 tie in regulation, the Panthers (22-7) scored the first four points of overtime to take the lead and Shatorria Baker made four free throws in the final 15 seconds to seal it. At the end, you already know the outcome, Dillard defeats Winter Haven, 46-43 in OT -at the Lakeland Center in LAKELAND, Fla. Kayla Wright had a double-double with 19 points and 19 rebounds, and Dillard survived a furious Winter Haven rally to capture its second straight Class 5A state title in a 46-43 overtime victory Saturday. So Congratulations to our Lady Panthers for Representing Dillard to the fullest with this State Championship Win.   It is the sixth overall title for longtime coach Marcia Pinder, Florida’s all-time winningest coach.
