Hernando Kiwanis Invitational
When & where: Friday and Saturday at Hernando HS, Brooksville
Local teams in the field: Belleview, Forest, South Lake, West Port, Yulee.
Area returning champions: None.
Synopsis: With 2021 champion Clay not in the field, this one looks to be Brandon’s to lose. Yulee — if the Hornets make the trip — should be in the mix to finish in the top 5 teams and with a full and healthy lineup could challenge for as high as third.
