Gainesville girls tennis coach Kellie Smith knew the talent was there this season with just one major contributor from the previous season gone. Her main job was making all the pieces fit with a blend of experienced varsity standouts and promising freshmen. After switching a couple players around and receiving excellent plays from both singles and doubles pairings, the Lady Red Elephants rolled through the regular season with a 20-0 record, including a 3-2 win against Flowery Branch in the Region 8-AAAAA title match Thursday in Flowery Branch.
