Boys Basketball Team Honored

Last night March 30, the Hillside Coalition of Laborers for Apalachicola (H'COLA) and the owners of AJ’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill paid homage to the Franklin County Seahawks boy’s basketball team for posting a successful season and making their way to the Florida High School Athletic Association Class 2A Final Four State Play-Offs.

AJ’s served the team and their families some of their famous fried chicken, along with French fries, and cold drinks, while H'COLA issued each player and coaches an inscribed medallion.

During the state semifinals, Arlington Country Day a private school from the Jacksonville area defeated the Seahawks by a score of 65 to 59. Since the Franklin County School was the only public school represented in the Class 2A Finals, local school officials deemed the basketball team the Public School Class 2A champions.
