Early in the Gainesville girls soccer season, the Lady Red Elephants aren’t showing any signs that the jump from Class AAA to AAAAA is going to be an issue. The 2012 Class AAA state semifinalists are also quickly becoming one of the teams to beat in the new Region 8-AAAAA after defeating Apalachee 4-1 on Tuesday at City Park Stadium in Gainesville to improve to 3-0 in region play. Senior forward Hartley Carter tallied the first three goals for the Lady Red Elephants (7-1-1), who opened a three-game stretch Tuesday that Gainesville coach Mark Wade called one of the most important stretches of the season.
