LAKELAND, Florida -- This year was all business for the Florida A&M High School Baby Rattlers girls basketball team. The Baby Rattlers lost in the state semifinals last year to Grandview Prep and had to stew for an entire year.
Now, the Baby Rattlers will have a chance at revenge.
For the third time in four years, the Class 2A No. 1-ranked Baby Rattlers are back in the FHSAA girls state basketball championship after defeating No. 2 Land O'Lakes Academy at the Lakes 74-45 in Tuesday's state semifinals at The Lakeland Center to advance to the state finals.
FAMU High (26-2) will take on the defending Class 2A state champion Boca Raton Grandview Prep Thursday at 3:35 p.m.
“Last year was a sad year for us,” said FAMU junior Jazmine Jones, who led all scorers with 26 points. “We used that as motivation. Me and Ja'nyia (McNealy) said we can't leave the first day. We have to have fun. This is her senior year. We have to send her out on a good note so we used that as motivation and had a heck of a year.”
