Gainesville senior Shaquan Cantrell spent the final minutes of the third quarter unable to even watch Wednesday night’s first round state tournament game at Gainesville High. Instead, he stood off in the corner of the gym as trainers worked to bandage a nearly inch-long laceration he suffered after he and a Hiram player bumped heads during the tight contest. To keep up with the game, he listened to the cues from the crowd.
