MONTVERDE — Coach Brian Hoff and his Windermere Prep boys basketball team have a storied history of success, clinching 20 victories in each of the last three seasons. Their impressive track record includes two consecutive appearances in the Class 3A state championship, though they faced defeat both times against Miami Riviera Prep. However, as the team stepped onto the court for their tournament opener on Thursday night, Hoff recognized the need to temper expectations.
Facing a formidable Montverde team, the Lakers struggled to find their rhythm. The game quickly turned into a showcase of Montverde's prowess, as they surged ahead with a commanding performance. The final score reflected the disparity in play, with Montverde overwhelming Windermere Prep 81-41.
Despite the setback, Coach Hoff remains optimistic about his team's potential and is determined to regroup for upcoming challenges. The experience gained from this game will be invaluable as they look to bounce back in the tournament.
