In a game loaded with playoff implications, Gainesville High School managed to survive a slew of self-inflicted wounds. The Red Elephants overcame 16 penalties and about as many busted plays to defeat Winder-Barrow 30-16 in a Region 8-AAAAA contest Friday night at City Park Stadium. After losing a tight game at Dacula last week, Gainesville (4-4, 2-1) is firmly back in the hunt for its 17th straight playoff appearance.
