To further compound the situation, Avon Park's 6-foot-7 sophomore center Cleveland Nobles picked up three quick fouls and spent most of the second quarter on the bench as Frostproof took a commanding lead. ...more

AVON PARK –– Carelessness with the ball, as in 30 turnovers, proved too much to overcome for Avon Park in Saturday night's 56-47 loss to Okeechobee in boys basketball. The Red Devils, who were coming off a disappointing district loss to DeSoto on Friday night, got a game-high 19 points by sophomore center Cleveland Nobles, but the lack of an outside shooting threat hurt Avon Park in the second half. The loss dropped the Class 4A Red Devils to 0-6. "It's real frustrating because we've played well enough to win, but we haven't been able to finish games," Nobles said. "We were a little tired after Friday night, but that's not an excuse. "We just have to keep our heads up and fight our way through it and keep working to become a better team." ...more
