| Florida Air rallies in fourth quarter |
Round four of the battle of defending state champions will be the last in the 2007-08 boys basketball season. Defending 3A champion Florida Air (15-8) will travel today to Orlando for a Class 2A, Region 2 semifinal with defending 1A champion Pine Castle Christian (21-6). The 7 p.m. game has been moved from Pine Castle's gym to a larger facility at Lake Highland Prep because the host's gym did not meet the Florida High School Athletic Association minimum seating capacity for regionals. The teams have alternated between bringing the best and worst out of each other. • In December, host Pine Castle defeated the Falcons, 72-46.• Last month, the pair met in Florida Air's Melbourne gym and the Falcons won, 76-56. • Two weeks ago in the District 8 championship game at Holy Trinity, Pine Castle won, 55-33. Tonight's winner will face the winner of the Providence-Arlington Country Day semifinal at 7 p.m. Saturday for a spot in next week's state tournament at Lakeland. Arlington Country Day is the state's defending 2A champion.
