The last time Georgia football coach Kirby Smart was in Gainesville on a regular basis, he was recruiting Gainesville High grad Blake Sims to join his Alabama squad. “I’ve got a lot of respect for the people in this community, because I think the first way you measure a community is when you have an event like this and everybody turns out for it,” Smart said Monday night at the 15th annual Futures for Kids Gala benefiting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Lanier.
