Gautier showed some early electricity Friday night, jumping out to a 14-7 lead over East Central behind a few explosive plays in preseason jamboree action.

Unfortunately, Mother Nature had some fireworks of her own. Lightning and weather moved into the area, bringing the night to an early end before the Gators and Hornets could finish things on the field.

A short sample size, but Gautier definitely showed some big-play potential.

Football is officially back on the Coast.
