GAINESVILLE, Ga. (AP) – George Groover holds a special place in the hearts of people who love Gainesville High athletics.
At 85, the longtime supporter of all things Red Elephants has served in every role imaginable to support their sports teams.
And still blessed with good health as he nears his next birthday in July, Groover would like to be around for years to come.
Simply put: he’s an institution around Gainesville High.
“Nobody has popped more popcorn and cooked more hot dogs than George Groover,” former Gainesville High athletics director and baseball coach Wayne Vickery said.
