Gulliver Prep football star Gabe Taylor leads basketball team to victory with 21 points

Bill Daley

Playing in the giant shadow of his older brother’s legacy, Gulliver Prep star Gabe Taylor, who helped lead the Raiders football team to an undefeated regular season, showed he can play more than just football.

Taylor, who’s older brother Sean was one of the great Gulliver and University of Miami football players to ever come down the pike before tragically passing away in 2007, turned in a monster effort Tuesday night.

Taylor led all scorers with 21 points and turned in a triple/double as he also recorded 10 assists, 10 steals and pulled down 7 rebounds to lead the Raiders (4-0) to a 68-33 win over West Palm Beach Oxbridge Academy.

Diego Lamonica (18 points, 9 rebounds, 3 blocks) and Tony Sanders (16 points, 2 rebounds) also contributed to the Gulliver win.
