The 6-foot junior scored 51 points in the three-game championship series as the Hawks won the 4A Region 1 girls basketball title and qualified for state for the first time since 2019. "Landree exemplifies the values we desire from our program," Lakeland coach Tyrel Derrick said. "She has great fortitude, toughness, fearlessness, unselfishness, and never backs down from a battle. She is our warrior and continues to impress and grow as she does the right things the right way every time."
