Ross connected on 55-yard pass to Dillon Lee on Buford's first possession and then hit Trey Jerkins on a 50-yard strike on their next possession for a 14-0 lead just three minutes into the game.
In the second quarter Smith sandwiched scoring runs o 7 and 3-yards around a 6-yard touchdown run by Seon Jones as the Wolves built a 35-0 halftime lead. In the third quarter, Ryan Mack, who led Buford with 75-yards rushing on just three carries, scored on runs of 52 and 21 to cap the scoring for Buford.
Buford next will travel to take on Greater Atlanta Christian (6-1, 2-0) in a showdown for the subregion title.
