Gainesville coach Jeremy Kemp said he could chalk up Saturday’s 10-1 loss to Dalton in the deciding third game of the first-round Class 6A playoff series as a step forward in the maturation process for his young program. With only two seniors, the Red Elephants (22-9) will have a bulk of this group back next season, competing to make a deep playoff run as this program is well known. “We’ll get better from this,” said Kemp after the season ended at Ivey-Watson Field.
