Westminster Academy is excited to share a remarkable milestone in Florida high school athletics. The Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) has announced the Florida Dairy Farmers 2025 Class 2A Boys’ and Girls’ Basketball Player of the Year Awards—and for the first time ever, both recipients are from the same school: Westminster Academy.
Alex Lloyd and Markeli Jones–Tynes have been honored with this prestigious recognition for their outstanding performance on the court and their leadership as student-athletes. In addition to this historic achievement, both were recently named First Team Broward All-County by the Sun Sentinel and the Miami Herald.
Alex will continue his academic and athletic career at the University of Florida, and Markeli will take the next step in her journey at Robert Morris University. We are proud of their accomplishments and the way they have represented Westminster Academy with excellence, humility, and perseverance.
Since 1992, the Florida Dairy Farmers High School Sports Awards program has recognized over 5,000 of the state’s top athletes and coaches across 30 FHSAA-sanctioned sports. As the longest-running sports awards program in the nation, it is often regarded as the equivalent of the Heisman Trophy in Florida high school athletics.
At Westminster Academy, we celebrate not only the victories on the court but also the growth of character, leadership, and faith in our student-athletes. Congratulations to Alex and Markeli on this incredible honor—to God be the glory!
