They defeated Union County 72-27 on Monday and followed that up with another blowout on Wednesday, an 88-46 victory over of Saint Francis Catholic. Gaines scored 20 points on Wednesday while Bryant Fonsa added 15 points and Ponds tallied 13. Marcus Peterson also had 12 points and nine rebounds. “I think guys like Kenney and Charleston have made tremendous strides in the spring and the summer and I think they’re ready to fill into those roles that Bobby and Ma’leak filled the last couple of years,” Columbia coach Steve Faulkner said. “And we’ve got other guys like D’andre Jefferson, who has gotten a world better from last year. He was on the team last year and didn’t play a whole lot, but he’s worked really hard at getting better at the things that he needed to work on.” A big difference for the Tigers this season will be their size. Five players are 6-foot-4 or bigger, including twin brothers Aaron Morse (6-foot-6) and Gabe Morse (6-foot-8). Marcus Owens and Jefferson are also both 6-foot-6, a welcome change for the Tigers who had just one player that tall a season ago. In fact, only one player is under 6-foot and that’s Jones at 5-foot-10. “It’s different for me because we’re going to have a lot of size. A lot,” Faulkner said. “It’s going to be a little bit different but I think we’ve got the makings of a team that can be pretty darn good.” The Tigers will have a new district to run through this season, as well as a new playoff format. Columbia was realigned into District 2-6A with Gainesville, Buchholz, Lincoln, Photos by JORDAN KROEGER/Lake City Reporter Chiles and Leon. Three of those teams Columbia guard Kenney Gaines flies to the hoop for a layup against Saint Francis Catholic. made the playoffs last season, with Lincoln advancing all the way to the regional finals while Chiles was one-and-done. And, of course, Gainesville was knocked out by the Tigers in the regional semifi- nals. “From what I gather, (Lincoln) is very similar to us and they return a lot of guys from a team that was one step away from the final four last year,” Faulkner said. “I’d say, probably on paper, they’re the team to beat. I know that GHS loses J’len Wilson from last year, who was one of the toughest kids I’ve ever had to game plan for because he was just so good, but they’re very young. So it’s really kind of hard to figure out what they’re going to be but I know that they’ll be well coached and play hard because that’s what Coach (Kelly) Beckham’s teams do.” Qualifying for the postseason is now completely different, with district run- ners-up no longer automatically advancing on. Teams are also no longer required to play their district opponents too, with CHS only hosting GHS and Buchholz on the schedule this year. Seeding for the district tournaments will be based on MaxPreps’ rankings, which will also seed the playoff teams in each Columbia guard Dante Brown shoots a floater in the lane Columbia forward D’andre Jefferson pulls up for a jumper region that’ll include four district champi- against Saint Francis Catholic. against Saint Francis Catholic. ons and four wild cards teams. The at-large berths will be chosen by MaxPreps. “I am a big fan of district winners being the only ones in for sure, and then the next four best teams as wild cards,” Faulkner said. “That’s the way to me it always should’ve been. I think it’s a system that, in reality, is trial and error. It’s something different we’ll have to adjust to, but if you take care of business and do what you’re supposed to you don’t have anything to worry about.” The Tigers are even more confident after how they played this past summer when they went 20-6 competing in various tournaments in and out of the state. It’s only reinforced their belief that can play with anybody and make a deep playoff run again. “I think when we played as a group this summer and had a lot of success, I think that immediately increased their confi- dence,” Faulkner said, “so I think there’s almost a little bit of a swagger with them. I’m trying to keep them grounded every day and they probably don’t like me very Columbia guard Jordan Smith drives the lane against Columbia forward Marcus Peterson dunks against Saint Francis much right now, but that’s fine because I Saint Francis Catholic. Catholic. told them that they have a chance to be a special group and I’m not going to let them let that slip away.” Faulkner has also added some tourna- ments over winter break to test his team during the season. Columbia will play in the Henry Clay Holiday Tournament in Kentucky (Dec. 19-21), the Hitchcock’s Challenge in Alachua (Dec. 27-30) and the bracket Buster Shootout at Orange Park (Jan. 4). The Tigers open the regular season next Saturday against Eastside at 5 p.m. as part of the Mighty Ike Shootout at Williston High School. “There is a little bit of confidence in them,” Faulkner said. “I think it’s normal for teenagers when we were that close to getting to Lakeland last year, so I think Columbia forward Fonsa Bryant absorbs contact and finishes Columbia guard Jeremiah Hodge drives in for a layup against their mindset is to get one step further.” for a basket against Saint Francis Catholic.
