Friday Game Night

You can talk big games, championships, legacies and tradition all day... but if you really want to see a Buford football player get excited mention just one word: Defense.

We

One wonders if Arthur Blank has ever considered renaming it the "Buford Dome" for this one week of the year.

The East Hall Middle School football team recently completed a perfect, 5-0 season, earning the 2014 Hall County Middle School Football crown.

Rosters have been announced for the second FCA East/West High School Football Classic -- featuring prep football standouts from throughout Hall County and beyond.

Buford's defense spent all week listening to tales of Cartersville's offensive prowess.

Buford advanced to its eighth straight state championship game with a 27-3 win over Cartersville in the Class AAAA semifinals. Commerce, however, lost in its bid for its first trip to the state finals in 14 years in a 28-7 loss to Irwin County in Class A Public.

Irwin County's Jakyron Young rushed for 201 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Indians to a come-from-behind 28-7 win over Commerce Friday night in the semifinals of the Class A Public playoffs.

Buford football may feature a team of postseason veterans, but the Wolves know all that experience will count for little if they cannot find a way to contain a freshman tonight.

Just one more win separates two area teams from that big day in the Dome...
