The Southside Panthers are taking a road trip to square off against the Georgiana Panthers at 7:00 p.m. on Monday.
Southside easily dispatched Dallas County back in December of 2024, but unfortunately both the margin and the ultimate result were a different story in this one. Southside fell just short of New Hope by a score of 46-43 last Friday.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Georgiana). They rang in the new year with an 80-68 victory over Greenville on Saturday. Given the Panthers' advantage in MaxPreps' Alabama basketball rankings (they are ranked 100th, while the Tigers are ranked 331st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Georgiana pushed their record up to 10-4 with the win, which was their 20th straight at home dating back to last season. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 79.3 points per game. As for Southside, their loss ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 8-3.
Southside beat Georgiana 63-55 when the teams last played back in December of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for Southside since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
