Florala is 6-1 against Geneva since November of 2019, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Thursday.

Elijah McMeans continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, dropping a double-double on 11 points and 13 rebounds. The game was his third in a row with at least ten points. Dalton Jackson was another key contributor, scoring 7 points along with 8 rebounds.

Meanwhile, Geneva pushed their score all the way to 57 on Monday, but even that wasn't enough to win. They fell 68-57 to Carroll.
