Joel Berry leads Lake Highland to back-to-back 4A state titles
Posted Feb 26, 2014
Joel Berry II spent most of his senior season unselfishly deferring to open teammates as defenses collapsed around him. But with his top-ranked Lake Highland Prep team down by nine and struggling to make a shot from anywhere, the McDonald's All-America guard kept the ball and took matters into his own hands in Wednesday's Class 4A state championship game. Berry's personal 11-0 second-quarter run propelled the Highlanders (28-4) into the lead and on its way to a hard-fought 58-53 victory against Jacksonville Ribault (26-4).
