Robinson High Girls Basketball Wins New Uniforms

The Robinson High girls basketball team will have a fresh look next year.

The Lady Knights were one of six Central Florida high school teams to win a complete sponsorship for new uniforms in Allen Sportswear's Dress the Champions contest.

after school parent Ari Fitzgerald submitted an essay for the central Florida company's contest. In it, Fitzgerald wrote about "a team that has risen above the obstacles of relative obscurity, lack of financial resources, and tremendous sadness to post its best season the school has seen since 1996."

Robinson junior Kiara Brito, 16, a member of the team, was shot and killed in her South Tampa home in June, as TBO.com reports.

For the contest, the team also submitted a short video, in which they honor Brito and tout the team's 3.67 GPA, community involvement and last year's 15-10 record and regional playoff appearance.
