Micah Hannah continued her habit of posting crazy stat lines, almost dropping a double-double on 11 points and nine steals. Hannah is crushing the steal category: she's posted at least two every time she's taken the court this season. Another player making a difference was Jayla Weiser, who scored eight points along with eight assists and two steals.
Meanwhile, Timber Creek came up short against Colonial on Friday and fell 40-32. While losing is never fun, Timber Creek can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Florida basketball rankings (they are ranked 43rd, while Colonial is ranked fourth).

Things could have been worse for Ocoee, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 53-37 loss to Timber Creek in their previous meeting back in November of 2022. Thankfully for Ocoee, Analyse Rios (who scored 16 points along with four steals) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
