    Joel BerryBy JACK LeGWIN

    LAKELAND, Fla. —  After losing in the Florida 4A state championship game to Pine Crest in 2012, Joel Berry finally accomplished what he came to Lakeland to do.

    Win it all.

    The North Carolina-bound point guard led Apopka (Fla.) Lake Highland Prep to a 67-50 win over St. Andrew’s School in the 4A State Championship game on Thursday night.

    Berry, who last year became the first sophomore to be selected Mr. Basketball in Florida, tallied 21 points, and was named the Under Armour Player of the Game. There is a strong chance he could be elected Mr. Basketball for the second straight year.

    “There is nothing better than winning a state championship with my teammates,” Berry said. “Winning the state championship this year, after losing it last year, means much more to me than winning Mr. Basketball. If it happens, and I do win it, it’s a blessing, because it shows people how hard I work, but if I don’t win it, life still goes on.”

    LAKELAND, Fla. — Grayson Allen, a junior shooting guard out of Jacksonville (Fla.) Providence School, made some serious noise over the weekend, averaging 29 points per game in two wins in the 3A State Championship at the Lakeland Center.

    Allen, a 6-foot-5, 185-pound guard ranked No. 36 in ESPN’s most recent rankings for the class of 2014, has fielded scholarship offers from Florida, Florida State, N.C. State, Cincinnati, Notre Dame, Miami and many others.

    In what amounts to a blow to St. John’s NCAA Tournament chances, head coach Steve Lavin has suspended sophomore guard D’Angelo Harrison for the remainder of the 2012-13 season.

    A source close to the program told SNY.tv Harrison was suspended for “a pattern of behavior.”

    A combustible guard out of Texas whose brother, Dre, is serving jail time for murder charges, Harrison has had a history of disciplinary issues at St. John’s and missed part of the preseason after clashing with Lavin.

    Harrison will miss the Red Storm’s remaining three regular-season games, the Big East Championship at Madison Square Garden and any 2013 postseason appearances.
