All of Gainesville's excitement after its 6-0 win against Chestatee on Thursday was subdued. While the Red Elephants (10-1, 7-0 Region 8-AAA) were pleased to take over first place outright in the region, breaking a tie at the top with the War Eagles (5-5-1, 5-1), they know there's still a long way to go before they can lock up a region title and a No. 1 seed to the postseason.
