Lake Highland Prep girls basketball thrives under pressure

Only something worldwide could challenge a team returning most of its players from a state champion season. Yet, even COVID-19 has not stopped the Highlanders on their trek toward a sixth state title.

Lake Highland Prep carries a 6-0 record into a Thursday clash against Windermere Prep (4-1). The Highlanders are already getting national respect, earning a preseason No. 1 ranking from MaxPreps. They’re also No. 1 in MaxPreps’ Florida all-class computer power ratings and sit No. 5 nationally behind four Texas powers.
