It came down to the last hole with the Griffins\u2019 Lilliana Ford, who was the Qdoba individual champ two years ago as an eighth grader, lipping out a birdie putt that would have given LMP the title based on the tiebreaker.<\/p>\n<p>Lake Mary Prep junior Charlize Peterson, Circle Christian senior Ana Boone and Parrish junior Avery Banfill tied for first individually 2-under-par 70. The playoff was on the 18th hole, and with daylight waning, the girls were allowed to play one tee closer on the par-5.<\/p>\n<p>Peterson and Banfill birdied to advance to a second playoff hole on No. 18. They moved up one more tee, which made the par-5 even more scorable. Peterson took advantage of a perfect 245-yard drive to put her second shot about 8 feet from the hole. She drained the eagle putt to better Banfill\u2019s birdie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt helped that they moved the tees up if you want to take a chance,\u201d Peterson said. \u201cI played it safe on the first playoff hole, but I knew I could go for it on the second hole.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lake Mary Prep coach Mike Jamison was not surprised by Peterson\u2019s clutch performance, and was happy with the team effort.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe works harder on her game than most,\u201d he said. \u201cI think we\u2019re ready for the postseason.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TFA\u2019s boys set multiple records while claiming the team title for the first time. The Royals shot 285-272 \u2014 557 to top seven-time state champ Ponte Vedra by 16 shots. The Saturday score smashed the previous 18-hole tourney record (277).<\/p>\n<p>Rosado said the 272 and 557 scores are boys school records.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" lazyautosizes lazyload\" alt=\"The First Academy's Mingbo Jiang watches his ball during the Central Florida Prep Invitational boys golf tournament at The Country Club of Orlando in Orlando, Fla., Wednesday, Sept. 3, 2025.
