On Friday, Sanford needed a little more time to beat North Alabama. In a close game that could have gone either way, they achieved a 97-96 victory over the Lions. With such a high score, both teams may do some additional defensive drills soon.

However, this loss doesn’t tell the whole story as several players played well. One of the most productive players was Duane Posey, who had 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 steals on 6-for-9 at-bats. His performance made up for a slow game against Georgia on Sunday.
