The St. Thomas Aquinas boys basketball team has made a lot of history this year. Now, they are just one game away from a little more.
The Raiders used a 15-0 run in a dominant second quarter to cruise past Charlotte 69-42 in the FHSAA Class 6A State Semifinals at the RP Funding Center in Lakeland, Fla.
Leading the charge for STA was sophomore CJ Westbrook with 19 points, while fellow sophomore KJ Sandi knocked down five threes.
The Raiders outscored the Fightin’ Tarpons 21-6 in the second frame, and held Charlotte to just 14 points in the first half.
STA now sits at 29-2, one win away from their first state title since 2001 and just the second in school history. They face the winner of Evans vs Cocoi Creek on Sat., Mar 8th at 5:00 p.m.
