The Florida High School Athletic Association released classifications for winter sports on Monday and Palm Beach County's district groupings for boys and girls basketball look pretty similar to last year's.

After last year's success with two local programs in the state semifinals, who really needed that much change?

That's the approach the FHSAA took with the area's top postseason contenders from last fall, including the boys of Lake Worth and Dwyer and the girls at Seminole Ridge and King's Academy.
