Just weeks after something similar involving the boys’ football team, the Gainesville High flag football game with Carver Columbus Thursday night was declared over following an on-field incident.
After winning their opening round GHSA game over Worth County, Gainesville advanced to the next round by forfeit when their game with Carver Columbus ended with a fight at City Park Stadium-Bobby Gruhn Field Thursday night, sources say. The Lady Elephants advance with a 1-0 forfeit.
The Gainesville High athletics director has not returned a request for comment and a GHSA official has been contacted for any information he can provide. The GHSA playoff bracket does show Gainesville advancing to the next round with a 1-0 forfeit over the Columbus team.
