Buffalo At A Glance
The Villages Charter has quietly become one of Florida’s elite high school programs under coach Colt McDowell, posting eight 20-win seasons and reaching the past three Final Fours (five total) during his first 10 years on the job. But the best could be yet to come for a talented group that includes three nationally-touted recruits – LSU recruit 6-5 SR Herly Brutus (10.5 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 2.8 apg), 6-1 JR Aaron Britt (15.8 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 3.4 apg) and 6-7 JR Jomar Bernard (8.6 ppg, 4.5 rpg). … This is the Buffalo’s first appearance in the City of Palms’ Traditional Bracket. They are 1-2 in two previous Sunshine Series, beating Lehigh 81-61 in 2018.
