For both Gainesville basketball teams, the first annual Chris Mance Memorial Big Red Shootout at Gainesville High is a chance to get it all together after two relatively rocky starts for a pair of generally solid programs. The Lady Red Elephants are still working on turning youth into experience, and the boys have yet to field a complete roster largely due to the football team playing all the way to a state title. Thursday night the boys made some strides despite missing a starter, while the girls saw more things to work on.
