HS football previews: Week 11
Placeholder Image
Gainesville at Flowery Branch When: 7:30 Friday night Where: Falcon Field, Flowery Branch Coaches: Gainesville, Bruce Miller; Flowery Branch, Chris Griffin Records: Gainesville (7-2, 7-1 Region 8-AAAAA); Flowery Branch (5-4, 4-4) Key players: Gainesville, QB Mikey Gonzalez (5-9, 165 Sr.); WR Messiah Dorsey (5-11, 180 Jr.); LB J.D. Sosebee (6-0, 220 Sr.). Flowery Branch, RB Jeremiah Goss (5-9, 200 So.); LB Cole Ford (6-0, 215 Sr.); LB/TE Zack Smith (5-11, 220 Sr.). Outlook: While this year’s matchup of cross-county rivals lacks the same playoff implications it had in years past, it still means a whole lot to the players. Traditionally a close game of Hall County’s two largest schools, the last time this game was decided by more than 10 points was the Red Elephants’ 49-17 win over the Falcons during the 2009 regular season. Gainesville and Flowery Branch would meet just a month later that season in the Class AAA state semifinals, a 29-21 win for the Red Elephants at City Park Stadium.
