After breaking their first two-game losing streak in five years, Gainesville (8-3) hopes it can ride the momentum of last week’s first-round win against Rome, into a win in the second round of the Class AAAAA state playoffs against Kell (10-1) tonight in Marietta. This game is shaping up to feature two heavyweight offenses with a state quarterfinal berth going to the winner. While the Red Elephants had the area’s best offense so far this season, including 489 yards in last week’s win over Rome at City Park Stadium, playing on the road in the postseason is another story.
