Tags: Less than three minutes from seeing their district title hopes essentially obliterated, Jamestowns girls snatched a 1-1 tie with Grafton last week on Nicolette Youngs goal from 30 yards on a pass from Jaelyn Coates.

Backed by a narrowly passed legislature, Governor Scott has restructured Floridas...
