For Bruce Miller, the joy derived from Friday night's semifinal win over Whitewater was subdued and short-lived. For the veteran Gainesville coach, a bigger goal lies ahead."We enjoyed it for about an hour," Miller said of the Red Elephants' 28-14 victory, which will send the program back to the state title game for the second time in four years. "There's supposed to be 12 hours you give yourself, but we got home at one o'clock (Saturday) morning, and some of our coaches have been up here working since eight o'clock (Saturday morning)."Gainesville (11-3), which will face Ware County (13-1) for the Class AAAAA championship at 8:30 p.m. Friday, is one of three area teams playing for a state title this weekend.
