Colquitt would win Georgia 2A through 4A every year. Understand? Unless the Packer Express broke down, and y’all forfeited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 20 years ago when the Georgia board was Peach State Football, pre Scout era, Steeler visited and posed the question. “Is Buford a state power?” The responses were varied, but the consensus was Buford, then AA was Cracker Jack for a small school, but would struggle to be competitive in 4A and 5A, the states largest classifications. Some of those Buford teams had more top shelf talent than some of the more recent editions. In hindsight, Buford was likely a top 10 team regardless of classification.

From the Tom Ridden to Ed Cochran days Buford was knocking Heads... Currently Buford HS has around 1100 students It's funny... the GHSA created a new rule because of Buford and it would've forced them to 5A. Now Idk how true it is given how word of mouth works... But teams where complaining about Buford in 3A and 4A so they move them up to 5A Buford was winning there... Then they got bumped to 6A and everyone was saying that's it for Buford.... Well... Buford has been in 6A for all of 3 years with a new HC in Bryan Appling and guess what.... They've won 3 state titles in a row 2 of them being 6A looking for a 4th.... So.... People have been wrong about them the whole time and won't admit it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMaximumHornetSting Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 What's even more impressive is Buford is nearly 85 years old and they've only had 6 Head Coaches.... Tom Ridden (1938-1973) Ed Cochran (1973-87) Dexter Wood (1988-2000) Jess Simpson (2001-2016) John Ford (2016-2018) Bryan Appling (2018-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMaximumHornetSting Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 I went back and looked at the coaching tree for Buford... Tom Riden started it all... Ed Cochran was an assistant to him Dexter Wood was connected to Ed Cochran... Jess Simpson was connected to Dexter Wood (he had a short stint at East Paulding too) Bryan Appling was an Assistant to Jess Simpson and Dexter Wood... John Ford was the only coach who had not connection to Riden in any way.... and he lasted the shortest... Buford is literally still using the same plans for success from the late 30s and it's still working... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if that were to happen, I'm not sure if anyone in the state is beating them. Consolidations I wouldn't mind seeing: 1) WR-Northside-Hoco 2) ELCA and Eagles Landing 3) Valdosta and Lowndes 4) Ware and Pierce County 5) Grayson and Archer Hillgrove & mceachern Oh wait, that already had happened 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don’t believe it is a huge conceptual leap to assume a higher percentage of residents in Tuscaloosa county still maintain “45” won the last election versus Clarke county. About 30 years ago I was flying charter out of PDK to Phoenix. As we crossed the state line, one of the pilots with a wicked sense of humor announced to us: “Ladies and gentlemen, we have just crossed the border and are now in Alabama. Don’t forget to set your watches back 20 years.” Hilarious. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
