MEET SUMMARY
Winter Haven proved that it does live 
up to the Coaches' Association poll. 
They looked really good, and I got a 
look at what they have.. impressive-
more on that later.  Palmetto, who is 
in our district, might be a 
surprise..no one saw it but they looked 
good, beating out a tough and equally 
surprising Lake Region team. Could 
Coach Moody turn another team around at 
Lake Region, like he did last year with 
Bartow?  Looks like it.  Bartow's 
Hanley shined, but Spath has dropped 
off considerably, appears to be lacking 
desire, was not #2 for Bartow..still a 
talented squad.  Sebring (us) we did 
about what we expected for the first 
meet, we were 30pts behind 'Tow.  
Rebuilding from loss of seniors, some 
talent and good showings here.
