GALLERY: SunRidge Middle girls basketball wins OCPS Final Four game

The SunRidge girls basketball team played Meadowbrook in the semifinals of the Orange County Public Schools Middle School Championships on Monday, with the Eagles scoring a 36-27 victory.

SunRidge, which led 30-15 at the beginning of the fourth quarter, withstood a furious rally by Meadowbrook, which was led by 19 points from Jamiya Turner.

With the lead cut to just four, 31-27, and 2:16 to play, SunRidge’s Sarah Placide hit a free throw which was followed by a pair of free throws from Kennedi Rodgers — giving the Eagles the breathing room they needed to hold on for the win.

Rodgers led SunRidge with 16 points and the Eagles got 10 points from Alondra Figeuroa.

SunRidge will play in the championship game on Wednesday.
