TREASURE COAST – A few of the Treasure Coast’s Top 10 boys basketball teams qualified for this year’s FHSAA state postseason.

When the brackets were released on Selection Sunday (Feb. 12), we were met with one great surprise.

We have three district champions from the Treasure Coast. All of them are in the state’s boys basketball teams.

No at-large teams from the Treasure Coast made the state field.

Let us get to the list now.

Centennial (22-5) has proven to be the Treasure Coast’s best boys basketball team this season. This team earned a spot in the Class 7A playoffs after winning the District 7-7A title on Friday, Feb. 10, 2022 at Palm Beach Lakes High School in West Palm Beach, Fla.
