Victor and Solomon Uyaelunmo and Jerald Butler of Calvary Christian faced off against Jamal Mashburn Jr and 5'4 Gabe Taylor of Gulliver Prep in the Regional Finals. Victor and Solomon Uyaelunmo played for Gulliver last year but transferred to Calvary Christian to play with Jerald Butler and win a state championship.
 
After two brutally tough playoff wins on the road in the first two rounds, Fort Lauderdale Calvary Christian found things a lot easier on Friday night.

Three weeks after the Eagles were upset in their district championship game against University School, forcing them to hit the road, they traveled to Gulliver Prep and, with a berth in the state final four in Lakeland on the line, got out to an early lead and never looked back, routing the Raiders 90-61.The Raiders (19-11), whose tallest player is 6-4, were absolutely no match for Calvary’s front line of 7-foot Victor Uyaelunmo, Elochukwi Eze (6-10) and Soloman Uyaelunmo (6-8) as the Eagles (22-6) owned the boards, outrebounding Gulliver 35-12. Uyaelunmo finished with 14 points and 12 rebounds.

“This is an honor to be a part of something so special,” said Victor Uyaelunmo who transferred from this very Gulliver program last year is headed to USC next year. “We felt confident we would be able to come in here tonight and get this done. It was a little weird when I walked into the gym for the first time but once the whistle blew, I was playing for a different colored jersey and had to go out there and take care of my business. Now we want to go to Lakeland and make history.”

The win punched Calvary’s ticket to the state final four for the first time in program history, where the Eagles will take on Marianna in a 5A state semifinal on Wednesday at The Lakeland Center.
