Even without its head coach, the Gainesville boys soccer team produced enough scoring chances to win its postseason opener by a wider margin. Diego Porras and Cesar Regaldo each found the back of the net, and the Red Elephants defeated Tucker 2-0 in a Class AAAAA first-round state playoff game that featured a pair of disallowed goals and even more near misses. Gainesville (15-2-1) watched two goals in the second half get scratched by a hand ball call and an offsides whistle.
