Explorers At A Glance

CITY OF PALMS SEED: 1

The “Boozer Era” begins its final act, and the consensus national preseason No. 1 team hopes to make history under sixth-year coach Andrew Moran with a fourth consecutive state championship, something that hasn’t happened in Florida’s largest two classifications since Fort Lauderdale Dillard’s “four-peat” from 2000-03. It’s been a remarkably consistent ride for Duke commits 6-9 SR Cameron Boozer (22.3 ppg, 11.2 rpg, 2.7 apg, 2.1 blocks) and 6-4 SR Cayden Boozer (12 ppg, 7.6 apg, 2.7 rpg), and Cameron’s 24 points, 11 boards, five assists and three steals – including a game-tying dunk with five seconds left in regulation – sparked Columbus’ 72-67 overtime win over Orlando Oak Ridge in the Class 7A title game. … But another top-40 talent, the high-flying and rapidly improving 6-5 JR Jaxon Richardson, now has been joined by a trio of big-time transfers in 6-8 JR Caleb Gaskins (Montverde Academy), a national top-10 ranked junior and late-October arrival, 6-6 JR Keeper Jackson (Memphis Christian Brothers) and 6-4 JR Cello Jackson (Memphis FACS). … The Explorers won the prestigious Les Schwab Invitational in Portland, Ore., and had signature wins over Paul VI, Long Island Lutheran, Prolific Prep and Harvard-Westlake along the way. … The Boozers are 85-13 in their first three seasons.
