Hazel Hall wanted to speed Gainesville up. After her Flowery Branch girls basketball team had dropped 45-43 and 43-37 games to the Lady Red Elephants earlier this season, the coach implored her players to push the tempo Tuesday night. Four quarters of precise execution and relentless attacking later, the Lady Falcons took control of the Region 8-AAAAA race with a 59-36 home victory against their Hall County rival.
