Leesburg (9-4) moved into a virtual tie with Gainesville (12-3) for the lead in the 6A, District 5 boys basketball standings by beating the visiting Hurricanes 66-59 on Thursday night.
The win avenged a 12-point Dec. 2 road loss to GHS.
“The first time we played them we were still trying to shake off our football legs,” said Yellow Jackets coach Marcel Thomas. “If we’re playing well and hitting on all cylinders, I believe it would be hard for them to beat us.”
The two teams figure to meet in a district final on a nuetral floor at Lake Weir in February.
