Patience paid off for Geneva’s Evan Griffin.
The 6-foot-9 Panthers’ basketball standout, who graduated from Geneva last month, had several college offers from schools such as Stetson, Gardner-Webb, North Alabama and Jacksonville State, but wanted to be a Troy Trojan.
“We have been talking on and off for awhile now. Late in the season, they got more serious and as the season ended, the recruiting picked up. I just waited it out and finally they offered me, and I committed.” “It has been incredible to see him grow in last three-four years and to see what he has accomplished and his dream of playing beyond high school at the Division-I level,” said current Geneva assistant principal Brent Johnson, who coached Griffin during the regional final season. “Troy was at the top of his list.”
Griffin joins several Wiregrass players on Troy’s team, including former Dothan star Thomas Dowd, Pike Liberal Arts standout Austin Cross, Troy head coach Scott Cross’ son, and Slocomb’s Brayden Whitaker. He will likely practice a lot against the 6-foot-8 Dowd, a sophomore.
