It’s shaping up to be an exciting season at Gainesville. The Red Elephants (12-2 in 2011) have one of the state’s best high school quarterbacks, Deshaun Watson, along with a handful of receivers with speed, a trio of running backs who can help mix things up on offense and a deep group of defensive backs. Coming off a trip to the Class AAA state semifinals in 2011 and making the move up two classifications, the Red Elephants return 13 starters after winning their fourth consecutive region championship in 2011.
