Sailors At A Glance
Sarasota’s original public high school has quickly become a basketball power under coach B.J. Ivey, compiling a 73-12 record over his first three seasons and reaching the 7A state semifinals for the first time in 56 years. Two returning starters – 6-4 JR Johnny Lackaff (21.9 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 2.2 apg, 3.1 steals) and 6-6 SR David Young (12.0 ppg, 7.0 rpg) – powered the Sailors’ playoff run, with Lackaff erupting for 30 and 35 points in back-to-back regional wins over Poinciana and Plant City. A key addition is transfer 6-3 JR Isaiah Jenkins (8.9 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 2.0 apg at Port Charlotte FL). … Ivey’s teams at Riverview were 173-53 and won six district titles from 2010-19, falling to Coral Springs 61-57 in the Class 8A state-title game in 2016.
