When Simone Minnifield hit the opening basket 17 seconds into Saturday’s game, Geneva head coach Rich Bixby knew it might a good sign for his team.
Minnifield carried the Panthers in the first quarter, Madison Johnson powered the second quarter and the Panther defense did the rest during a 59-28 Class 4A Southeast Regional Tournament win over the LAMP Golden Tigers at Montgomery’s Garrett Coliseum.
Johnson, who finished with a double-double of 17 points and 11 rebounds, and the Panther defense took over in the second quarter. Johnson scored 13 second-quarter points, while the defense held the Tigers scoreless in the period’s first four minutes as GHS built a 32-14 halftime lead. “We made them work for every shot,” Bixby said. “They got a couple of easy putbacks, but they were far and few in between. We rotated and helped on the penetration. Overall, our defense pretty much smothered them.”
