Johnson was one of several area teams to get off to a solid start Friday night in the opening week of the high school football season.

Buford coach Jess Simpson said coming into the 2015 season his team was as inexperienced as any in recent memory. It showed at times in the Wolves’ season opener against Eastern Christian Academy out of Elkton, Md., Friday night at Tom Riden Stadium.

Johnson held Madison County to just 19 yards rushing while pounding out 240 yards on the ground of its own in taking an impressive 17-0 victory over the Red Raiders in both teams’ season openers at Billy Ellis Memorial Stadium.

Joey Terdoslavich hit a long two-run home run in the first inning and had a hand in all four runs scored by the Gwinnett Bravesin a 4-2 victory over the Louisville Bats on Friday at Coolray Field.

Senior Baylee Sexton broke a 5-5 tie in the bottom of the sixth inning with a game-winning single to left field, scoring senior Lea Edwards to give Buford a 6-5 victory over Loganville Friday night in girls softball action in the Hawk/Bulldog Tournament.

It’s been a while since the Buford Wolves entered a season with as much uncertainty as they do in 2015. So long, in fact, that even coach Jess Simpson wasn’t really sure.

The Gwinnett Braves, in conjunction with the Atlanta Braves, announced today that infielder Hector Olivera has been promoted to Gwinnett from Class-A Rome. He is set to make his G-Braves’ debut Thursday night at Coolray Field in a 6:35 p.m. game against Louisville.
