GAINESVILLE - The Gainesville boys basketball team ran its winning streak to seven with a 79-64 win over rival North Hall Tuesday night.

Gainesville (8-1) trailed just once - 2-0 - and then responded with a 23-7 run en rout to the victory.

For North Hall, Josh Stephens added 11 points and Tyler Smiley 10.
