Good morning, Gainesville.

A Gainesville man won $10,000 on November 14 from a Georgia Millionaire lottery scratcher bought at Chevron on Price Road while taking the day off to celebrate his wife's birthday.

He said he will save some of the money and spend the rest on fishing equipment — his wife finally believed him after seeing a photo of the check from the lottery office.

Union County has suspended its formal search for missing law professor Charles Hosch, a Gainesville native last seen on Nov.

11, after nearly two weeks of efforts yielded no new clues, and his family said they will continue their own search—thanking search and rescue teams for their dedication.

A midtown restaurant will provide meals for students in the school lunch program during Thanksgiving break + the move is meant to keep students fed when school is closed.

Thirty-nine players from Gainesville High will be suspended for Friday's state quarterfinal game after a brawl during last week's playoff match led to a $5,000 fine — the school has requested a virtual appeal scheduled Tuesday before the GHSA Board of Trustees.
