TREASURE COAST – The FHSAA’s Girls Basketball Selection Show from yesterday (Feb. 5) was a reveal that showed a couple of surprises for our area’s teams.

We did not produce any district champions from the Treasure Coast area. But we did end up with five at-large selections for the upcoming FHSAA state playoffs. 

They are as follows:

•Class 5A: Jensen Beach (16-6), Lincoln Park Academy (15-7)

•Class 6A: Martin County (15-6)

•Class 7A: Centennial (15-7), Vero Beach (12-12)

Now with that said, let us get right to the FHSAA regional quarterfinal matchups for our area teams.

We have two rematches in the Treasure Coast for the FHSAA regional quarterfinal round. They took place in the regular season.

CLASS 5A-REGION 4: No. 3 seed Jensen Beach (16-6) vs. Lincoln Park Academy (15-7) 

•Rematch from Tuesday, Jan. 17; 48-46 win for Lincoln Park Academy

CLASS 7A-REGION 2: No. 4 seed Centennial (15-7) vs. No. 5 seed Vero Beach (12-12)

Vero Beach hopes to make a run in the FHSAA girls basketball state playoffs this year.
