The Gainesville boys soccer team continues to trend in the right direction toward a potential Region 8-AAAAAA championship and top playoff seeding. Less than three weeks after a their thrilling double-overtime outing, the fourth-ranked Red Elephants completed the regular-season sweep of Habersham Central on Friday night in convincing fashion with a 3-0 shutout under the lights of Bobby Gruhn Field. It now pits the Red Elephants (11-2, 5-1 Region 8-AAAAAA) in a critical Tuesday night showdown with Dacula (5-5, 4-2), which dropped a narrow contest to Apalachee on Friday to bump Gainesville up to first place in the Region 8-AAAAAA. With four region games remaining on the docket, a win next Tuesday would present Gainesville a clearer path toward another league crown, first under first-year coach Eli Viviant who stepped in for longtime coach Rick Howard in the fall.
