The weekend was business as usual for Georgiana’s basketball team as the Panthers defended their home turf against the Highland Home Flying Squadron Saturday night with a decisive 86-40 victory.

The game also doubled as Senior Night for the Panthers, and Georgiana’s seniors took it as an opportunity to leave an indelible mark on their alma mater with great performances.

Highland Home’s defense was powerless to slow down, let alone stop, a deep Georgiana offense with multiple tools.

Five different Panthers reached double-digits to take a commanding lead from the very outset.

Richard Boggan dominated the paint as usual, but he received some help on rebounding duties from senior forward Travales Smith, who contributed 12 rebounds on the night.

Senior Jeremy Sims and his towering 6-foot-6-inch frame led the way with 15 points, as well as Jay Williams, who added 15 points of his own to the total.

Jacquez Payton and Demarcus Rich each added 13 points.

Lastly, Boggan posted yet another double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds.

Andrew Brown led Highland Home with 10 points.

The Panthers (20-2) hosted Red Level Tuesday, though results were unavailable at press time.
