Two players with a score under par and a great deal of patience through a three-hour weather delay have the Gainesville High boys sitting in a very respectable fifth place in the standings after Day 1 of the Class 6A championship meet at the Chattahoochee Golf Club in Gainesville. Red Elephants’ junior Ryan Hogan shot a 2-under par 70 and his teammate Brody Simmons finished with a 71, giving them a team score of 297, seven shots off the pace set by defending 6A state champion Johns Creek. Gainesville’s first round total at state was three shots better than its state-qualifying round of 300 in the Area meet.
