5: State team champions from Northeast Florida, out of a possible eight, at the FHSAA cross country meet. Top finishers were Creekside (4A girls), Bolles (2A boys), Bishop Kenny (2A girls) and Providence (both 1A boys and 1A girls).

7: Grade for St. Johns Country Day’s Bryce Fiore, who won the Class 1A 106-pound division to become Northeast Florida’s youngest FHSAA state wrestling champion on record.

8.0: Assists per game dished out by San Jose Prep guard Lena Most, third in the state, leading the Storm to a first final four in girls basketball.
