The Gainesville girls basketball team won a rollercoaster of a back-and-forth contest Monday morning to start the 61st annual Lanierland tournament with a 50-45 victory over Cherokee Bluff. The Lady Red Elephants went down by double-digits in the first quarter of the game, but rallied from there and eventually iced the game by holding the Lady Bears to just 2 points over the final four minutes of the contest.
