Orange County, FL \u2013<\/strong> This morning, Orange County Mayor Jacobs called in the experts \u2014 student athletes from four local winning high school basketball teams \u2014 to help her with her NCAA bracket selections.<\/p>\n

On hand to assist the Mayor were basketball champions from Winter Park (boys), Evans (boys), Edgewater (girls) and Wekiva (girls) High Schools. The experts all agreed it would be Florida all the way.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne great Florida university, FSU, brought home the National Football Championship this year, so I feel excited and confident to predict another great center of learning, the University of Florida, is going to match that achievement by bringing home the National Basketball Championship,\u201d said Mayor Jacobs.<\/p>\n

The students assisted in creating Mayor Jacobs\u2019 bracket for the NCAA 2014 Basketball Championship games, which will be held at the Amway Center on Thursday, March 20 and Saturday, March 22. The participating students were selected by their high school principals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Mayor Jacobs asked for our championship male and female basketball student athletes to help with her bracket selections, we were so excited,\u201d said Orange County Public Schools spokeswoman Kathy Marsh. \u201cOur student athletes are sharp and well-trained on what to seek in quality college athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Student athletes arrived at the Orange County Government Administration Center in their team uniforms and gathered in the Mayor\u2019s Conference Room to go over the NCAA 2014 Basketball Championship brackets and the picks for Mayor Jacobs.<\/p>\n

“It was great to join with basketball champs from across Orange County to help Mayor Jacobs select her bracket,” said Dewey Johnson of Winter Park High School. “We think we’ve got a winning bracket!”<\/p>\n

WKMG Local 6, hosts of the NCAA 2014 Basketball Championship games, and Orange TV recorded the bracket selection.<\/p>\n
