For Gainesville football coach Bruce Miller, it feels like it’s been ages since his program had the opportunity to play on its home field at City Park Stadium. That long wait finally comes to an end Friday night, when the Red Elephants (0-1) open Region 8-AAAAA play against Winder-Barrow (1-1, 1-0 Region 8-AAAAA) in Gainesville. The span between games for the Red Elephants in Gainesville is 9 1/2 months to be exact, since a 42-28 win against Mundy’s Mill in the 2013 Class AAAAA state quarterfinals.
