It might be a stretch to call Osceola County the epicenter of Florida high school softball excellence, but three local teams put on impressive performances at spring break tournaments.

Mention the word basketball to Julia Ingler and her face lights up immediately.

A self-proclaimed “gym rat,” Ingler says she would rather play basketball than just about anything in the world. As a junior point guard for Harmony High, Ingler averaged more than 14 points a game and came within one game of leading the Longhorns to their first final four appearance.

Osceola guard Montana Bass likes to score, whether it is on a drive to the basket, like here, or from beyond the 3-point arc.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant once said that, “Everything negative – pressure, challenges – is all an opportunity for me to rise.”

Perhaps no quote better describes Osceola High’s Montana Bass, the Osceola News-Gazette Girls Basketball Player of the Year, an honor she shares with Harmony’s Julia Ingler.

A 5-7 shooting guard/point guard, Bass overcame losing her home in a mid-January fire, but still managed to lead Osceola to a 21-7 record this season.

“It was a pretty horrible,” Bass says of the Jan. 10 fire.
