St. Francis Hosts North Florida Christian in Regional Semifinal

After winning their first district title since 2013, the St. Francis boys’ basketball team is hosting North Florida Christian in the regional semifinal. St. Francis went undefeated in district play, but head coach Isaac Silva believes they have improved immensely — Silva believes his team has shown the most growth in their decision making.

No Guarantees

Despite being district champions, the Wolves know the regional semifinal will not be a walk in the park. North Florida Christian was an underdog in every game of their district tournament, making it all the way to the district championship before losing. With the win or go home scenario in play, the Eagles will come into St. Francis with a chip on their shoulder.
