Gainesville at Apalachee When: 7:30 Friday night Where: Wildcats Stadium, Winder Coaches: Gainesville, Bruce Miller; Apalachee, Shane Davis Records: Gainesville (1-1, 1-0 Region 8-AAAAA); Apalachee (0-3, 0-2) Key players: Gainesville, QB Mikey Gonzalez (5-9, 167 Sr.); RB/LB Chris Byrd (5-8, 175 Jr.); LB J.D. Sosebee (6-0, 245 Sr.). Apalachee, QB/RB Alantae Billings (6-3, 205 Sr.), WR/DB Kent Knowles (6-0, 160 Sr.), TE/LB Jamal Stewart (6-0, 205 Jr.). Outlook: Gonzalez showed he could be quite the prolific passer in the starting role, completing 23 of 29 throws for 276 yards and four touchdowns in the region-opening win against Winder-Barrow on Sept. 12. Now, the Red Elephants turn their attention to a Wildcats program mired in a 13-game losing streak going back to the start of the 2013 season. Against Winder-Barrow, Gonzalez (417 passing yards this year) threw a touchdown pass to four separate receivers, including a 50-yard strike to Chris Williamson for a touchdown early in the second period, just before an extended weather delay.
