Flagler Palm Coast

Joe Giddens wanted Mainland’s boys basketball team to hit its stride in January. Nearing the halfway mark of the month, it looks like the Bucs are.

Taron Keith, Marvin Scott III and Eddie Whipple highlight the first-team offensive selections, while Malakai Grant, Ty Berrong and Avantae Williams are.

Khadija Faye had 18 points and 11 rebounds after returning to the team from a weeklong trip to her native Senegal.

As a 16-year-old sophomore, Roberts stepped in to start at QB when the starter was injured in the third game of the season.   For Flagler Palm Coast quarterback Preston Roberts, last season’s loss to Winter Park in the first round of the Class 8A FHSAA State Playoffs was an eye-opener.
