Baseball Coach of the Year: Gainesville's Jeremy Kemp
The Gainesville High baseball program has plenty of history. There have been state champions, college standouts and even a current major leaguer. But never before had the Red Elephants done what they accomplished in 2012. 31-0.

Heavy lifting: Local man aims for 725-pound press
What is 725 pounds? It's the weight of a large adult tiger. It's roughly half the size of a full-grown hippopotamus. It's also the weight that Gainesville resident and Georgia IronDawgs bench press champion Tim Moon will try to lift on Friday at the American Powerlifting Committee National Championships. Having already lifted the weight regularly in practice, Moon will attempt to set a new personal record on bench when he competes at the event. To ...

The Wildcats are an AAU basketball team based out of Gainesville. The team practices twice a week and competes in national tournaments on the ...
