Gainesville’s boys basketball team needed some time to level off from the emotional high of Senior Night. Luckily, solid defense and a hot hand by Sam Carpenter helped overcome a brutal start that saw the Red Elephants held scoreless for the first seven minutes of the game. Carpenter scored Gainesville’s first five points in the final minute of the first quarter, and Gainesville bounced back to defeat Loganville 69-61 on Tuesday at home.
