Eagles At A Glance
Second-year coach Jon Mason hopes to take another step forward after his three-sophomore, two-junior lineup parlayed a 10-0 start into a run to the state final, a hard-fought 59-55 loss to Pembroke Pines Charter that he called “another notch on the belt for the future.” Most of that roster returns, including UNC-Asheville commit 6-7 SR Myles Mayfield (14.2 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 2.1 blocks), who had nine points and 10 boards in the final game, 6-4 JR Jacari Lofton (4.3 ppg, 3.8 rpg) and 6-6 SR Ethan Simon. … The Eagles picked up an important addition in transfer 6-4 SR Darius Washington III (11 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 2.9 apg at Orlando Christian Prep), whose father played in the 2000 City of Palms. … Mayfield averaged 12.3 points and 8.3 boards to help Edgewater split four games at the prestigious Tarkanian Classic (Las Vegas, Nev.) and had 16 points in the Eagles’ 44-34 state-semifinal win over Punta Gorda Charlotte.
