The Ocoee Middle boys and girls basketball teams both remain undefeated after going on the road to Sunridge Middle and beating the two Eagles' boys and girls teams to claim the Southwest Orange County Cluster Championship, the third consecutive cluster crown for the Lady Cardinals.

Both Cardinals teams ran through their regular season schedule, which consisted of games against the other six teams within the Southwest Cluster — Horizon West Middle, Hamlin Middle, Lakeview Middle, Water Spring Middle, Bridgewater Middle and Sunridge.

Next up for the Cardinals is the county championship, where they'll face off against the top teams from Orange County's six other clusters: South, North, Central, Northwest, East and West.
