Columbia’s basketball teams are in the playoff hunt following the FHSAA’s first set of rankings released on Wednesday.
Nothing surprising about Tuesday night’s contest.
It was the usual dogfight between Columbia and Gainesville. And it’s clear once again that this district will be a gauntlet.
With under a minute to play in regulation Tuesday, Columbia senior point guard Darrien Jones stepped to the charity stripe with the Tigers up 59-54 over rival Gainesville.
COLUMBIA, S.C. — When Andrew Nembhard is on his game, Florida usually is, too.
GAINESVILLE — Marco Wilson is staying in Gainesville.
GAINESVILLE — The Florida basketball team won its SEC opener Saturday in thrilling fashion, defeating Alabama 104-98 in double overtime. Here are four takeaways from the game.
GAINESVILLE — Noah Locke and his Florida teammates knew what was coming. Alabama had run the same set on its previous two inbound plays.
So the Gators defended it perfectly.
Jordan Smith scored 18 points, including two 3-pointers, and Darrien Jones added 17 to help Columbia survive in overtime for a 62-60 road win over Orange Park on Saturday in the Bracket Buster Shoo
Columbia coach Pete Whittington always expects to win.
Especially his own tournament.
Prior to his senior year, Columbia linebacker Marlon Pollock wrote down four stat goals for 2019 and hung the paper in his locker.
