The Sonic Drive-In Player-of-the-Game for Tuesday, Nov. 26, was Rod Williams of the Gainesville boys’ basketball team.

The senior scored 14 points in the second half, including eight in the final quarter as the Hurricanes (1-0) extended their winning streak to five games against the Knight (0-1).
Williams converted an old-fashioned 3-point play in the final quarter and also made two free throws with 28 seconds to play as GHS outscored Vanguard 19-17 in the fourth quarter.
Gainesville is off until next week. The Hurricanes will travel to Suwannee (Live Oak) on Tuesday, Dec. 3.
Every game The Prep Zone will recognize a Player-of-the-Game. The recipient receives a $10 gift certificate courtesy of Sonic Drive-In of Gainesville & Ocala.
