The Hurricanes escaped their semifinal with a 68-65 win over Lake Weir in overtime, setting up a rematch with the Tigers for the title. The two teams split their regular-season meetings, with each team winning on its home floor. Gainesville also topped Columbia last year in the district cham- pionship at home, but this time around will be a lit- tle different with the teams meeting on a neutral floor with home field up for grabs in the regional quarterfinals. “I guess it works out well,” Columbia coach Steve Faulkner said. “I just like playing district cham- pionship games.
