How to explain the bonding in boron trifluoride with hybridisation?

We know that in the ground state, the configuration of boron is 1s2 2s2 2p1, and in the excited state it is 1s2 2s1 2p2, and it undergoes sp2 hybridisation. Why is the unpaired 2p5 orbital of fluorine involved in σ-bond formation? Why doesn't fluorine get excited and fill its 2p orbital and its 2s orbital gets overlapped with a sp2 hybridised orbital of boron?
