Northeast Florida- We had an exciting 2021-2022 Girls Basketball season. There were some great games and with things almost back to normal, the crowds returned to witness some of the best talent around. Gyms were back to full capacity and these young ladies were sure to put on a show. There were some great individual performances last season and some of those players are returning for an even better 2022-2023 season.
