ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Gibbs High boys basketball is one step closer to their goal -- going back-to-back as state champions in class 4A. Something no other Pinellas County public school team has done since Gibbs did it back in 1966 and 1967. “We’ve been to states four years in a row, and nobody ever did before and we won last year and we got a chance to make history again going back-to-back,” senior Jacob Daniels said.
