Gainesville at Apalachee When: 7:30 tonight Where: R. Harold Harrison Stadium, Winder Records: Gainesville (2-1, 1-0 Region 8-AAAAA); Apalachee (0-2) Coaches: Gainesville, Bruce Miller; Apalachee, Shane Davis Key players: Gainesville, QB Deshaun Watson (6-3, 190 Sr.); RB Michael Byrd (5-5, 150 Jr.); LB Devan Stringer (5-11, 195 Sr.). Apalachee, RB/DB Jody Mathis (Sr.); OL/DL Roosevelt Crum (Jr.); RB/LB Alante Billings (Sr.). Outlook: After a tough loss against Buford, Gainesville looks like it’s starting to click on all cylinders with its 68-0 win against Winder-Barrow last Friday to open Region 8-AAAAA play at City Park Stadium. For Apalachee, a loser by lopsided scores to Lanier and Greater Atlanta Christian, this is its first region game of the season. Last week for the Red Elephants, Watson became the first 10,000-yard passer in state history.
