It’s hardly news anymore when Plant High School succeeds in the athletic arena. Once again the Panthers had another banner year in interscholastic sports. It included three state championships: volleyball and girls’ tennis and cross country. Plus, a state runner-up in football. No Tampa Bay school did better. Again.
Even more impressive, however, was that success on the field was complemented by success in the classroom. Plant’s comprehensive team grade point average (3.431) was the highest among Hillsborough County high schools.
Well done. Again.
