Gainesville at Grayson When: 7:30 tonight Where: Grayson High School, Loganville Coaches: Gainesville, Bruce Miller; Grayson, Mickey Conn Records: Gainesville (0-0); Grayson (0-0) Key players: Gainesville, QB Mikey Gonzalez (5-9, 160 Sr.), LB J.D. Sosebee (6-0, 245 Sr.), WR Rodney Lackey (5-10, 165 Sr.). Grayson, RB Cameryn Brent (5-8, 190 Jr.); QB Chase Brice (6-3, 190 So.), WR Cedric Asseh (6-2, 180 Sr.). Outlook: “Life after Deshaun,” as one Gainesville assistant coach dubbed it, officially begins tonight.The Red Elephants will see their first regular-season action without longtime star quarterback Deshaun Watson — expected to play for Clemson on Saturday against Georgia — when they travel to Loganville to take on Grayson. New starting quarterback Mikey Gonzalez and the Red Elephants offense looked sharp in a 47-21 scrimmage win against White County on Aug. 15, but Grayson is expected to present a much tougher test. The Rams’ 4-6 record last season was uncharacteristic for a program that won 10 or more games each year from 2007-’12, including the Class AAAAA state championship in 2011.
