One set the Miami-Dade County single-season record for home runs. The other led his Broward County powerhouse to its first state championship in a decade.

Gulliver senior third baseman Stephanie Texeira and St. Thomas Aquinas coach Bryan Baucom were named Florida softball player and coach of the year, respectively on Tuesday by the Florida Dairy Farmers Association.

Texeira, an FIU commitment, hit .588 with 17 home runs and totaled 54 RBI this season to lead Gulliver to its fourth consecutive state championship. Texeira became the first recipient of the Miss Softball Award from South Florida since Miami Palmetto pitcher Kelly Saco in 2008.

Baucom, a 19-year coach at Aquinas, led the Raiders to a 22-5 record and their third title overall and first since 2003. Baucom is 459-92 in his career also winning the award in 1999.

Rovetto, The Miami Herald’s Class 5A-2A Baseball Coach of the Year, replaces Eddie Tisdale, who recently moved to South Carolina.

GOLF

Plantation American Heritage golfer Jorge Garcia took home his second career American Junior Golf Association victory at the Thunderbird International Junior meet in Scottsdale, Ariz., this past weekend.

Garcia, The Miami Herald’s Broward Boys’ Golfer of the Year and a state individual champion in Class 1A last fall, won the par-72, 7,112-yard course by four strokes.

“I doubled the fifth hole but came back and eagled the seventh and birdied the eighth, which was a big momentum-builder,” said Garcia, a University of Florida commit. “After that I was just doing the same as the days before. I knew it was going to be about hitting a lot of greens today and being patient.”

Garcia led American Heritage to its first state golf championship last October.
