Florida Dominates Georgia 89-59, Extends Win Streak to 12
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) – Todd Golden and the Florida Gators extended their perfect record against the Georgia Bulldogs, winning 89-59 on Saturday.
Behind stellar performances from Alijah Martin and Walter Clayton Jr., who each scored 17 points, and Will Richard, who added 15, the No. 5 Gators cruised to a 30-point victory. The Gators also showcased a stifling defense, forcing 18 turnovers, as they continue one of their best starts in program history.
With the win, Golden improves to 6-0 against White and remains perfect at home with a 3-0 record in their head-to-head matchups. Florida has now won 12 straight games against Georgia and stands at 18-2 on the season, matching the best start through 20 games in program history.
Four of Florida’s five starters scored in double figures, with Martin, Clayton Jr., and Richard contributing alongside Alex Condon, who added 14 points. Clayton Jr. also extended his record for consecutive games with a three-pointer to 43.
Thomas Haugh had a strong outing off the bench, recording his second double-double of the season with 13 points and 11 rebounds.
Florida came out firing from the opening whistle, quickly shaking off a sluggish performance in their narrow win over South Carolina on Wednesday. Martin scored 11 points in the first five minutes, helping the Gators jump out to an early lead. By the under-eight-minute timeout in the first half, Martin and Richard had combined for 24 of Florida’s 38 total points, while Georgia was held to just 19. By halftime, the Gators led 51-26, with Martin and Richard scoring 30 points combined, while Georgia had only 26 as a team.
Defensively, Florida was suffocating, forcing 18 turnovers, 14 of which came in the first half. Clayton Jr. led the charge with five steals, and Martin added three in the game’s opening minutes. The Gators capitalized on these turnovers, scoring 29 points off mistakes and 23 points on fast breaks. Clayton Jr. also contributed five assists, including a highlight-reel alley-oop to Haugh.
Georgia, who started 7-for-12 from the field, struggled after their early success. Florida went on an 11-0 run midway through the first half to stretch their lead to 25-11. The Bulldogs were held to just 2-for-12 shooting to close out the half.
In the second half, Georgia tried to make a push with a 6-0 run to cut the lead to 19, but Florida quickly responded with a 10-0 run of their own, taking their lead to 30 with just over 11 minutes remaining. Clayton Jr. added 10 points in the second half, while Condon chipped in nine.

The Georgia Public Service Commission this week approved a plan expected to reduce utility bills for Georgia Power customers by a few dollars a month.
The commission said the change will generate about $285 million in total annual savings for Georgia Power customers, or roughly $50 per year — about $4.04 per month — for the average residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours a month.
The Georgia PSC voted Thursday to lower overall rates as part of the approved plan.
Georgia Power Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Tyler Cook said the decision will provide “real savings for Georgia families and businesses as the heat of summer begins and energy use increases.”
“At Georgia Power, our teams work every day to run our business efficiently and keep reliable and affordable energy flowing to our customers,” Cook said.
Cook said the outcome followed months of work between Georgia Power and PSC staff, including reviews, public hearings and input from residents and intervenors.
The approved plan is tied to a stipulated agreement reached earlier this month involving two cases filed with the PSC in February, the Fuel Cost Recovery case and the Storm Cost Recovery case. Those cases addressed recovering fuel costs used to generate electricity and expenses tied to restoring power after storms.
Georgia Power said its rates remain, on average, about 15% below the national average and that it is still on track to provide additional annual savings of about $102 per year for typical residential customers beginning in 2029.
ATLANTA – The Georgia Public Service Commission approved a stipulated agreement on Thursday to lower utility rates for Georgia Power customers starting June 1.
The regulatory body voted to pass the deal without changes, establishing how the utility can bill for fuel costs and storm damage restoration expenses.
State regulators approve rate cuts
What we know:
The Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) voted 3-2 to reject several utility cost amendments before ultimately passing the overall deal. Under the approved agreement, a typical residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours per month will see monthly bills decrease by roughly $4.03 to $4.04. Total annual savings across all 2.8 million Georgia Power customers are projected to reach approximately $285 million.
The deal reduces how much money the utility can recover from its customer base for storm expenses by nearly 60%, dropping the revenue requirement from $270 million down to $109 million. The agreement also extends the amortization of storm recovery costs, largely tied to Hurricane Helene in 2024, to 67 months, caps natural gas advance purchases at 20% over a 36-month window, and cuts $13 million from the company’s original fuel recovery estimates.
Accountability questions remain unresolved
What we don’t know:
While the PSC agreed to launch a separate investigation into how fuel costs are allocated, officials have not yet confirmed how much large industrial operations will be forced to pay in future rate cases. Consumer advocacy groups argue that massive data center companies are driving up fuel costs for everyday ratepayers without paying for the infrastructure upgrades they require. Critics note that it remains unclear if a future utility asset structure will successfully shift financial burdens away from residential homes.
