I'm not even gonna try to guess. I assume there will be some of the usual suspects in there. I'd hope Colquitt would be. Mill Creek could be. Some other Gwinnett Football league built team will be. Maybe even two. Im curious about Camden. Parkview looked good against a terrible team already. They could be hanging around. Hard to guess at this point.

ATLien12x Posted August 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Buford is the same team every year honestly. This year they are more talented than a lot of their previous versions. That’s the only difference. That said they will need to be able to throw the football effectively to win state. If they can do that, they’re definitely talented enough to win a state championship. Buford isn’t the typical 4A/5A program playing up. Everyone in Georgia knows that. They’re big up front on both sides of the ball and they have elite athletes. It all comes down to QB play which I think is the case for anyone in Georgia 7A. It has to improve for Buford and it should. Thompson is NOT one of the better offenses Buford will play this year. Buford was never really stressed today because Thompson couldn’t score. It’s easy to keep doing what you’re doing when you know you get crack after crack. Defensively Thompson may be top three Buford will see all season long, but someone in November is going to score on them and they’ll need to answer the bell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever it is that is making the run and still playing ball around Thanksgiving. Man Buford is Buford. Never had a sexy offense to begin with. Key to success is to run the ball and play good defense. Just like nova cane. Give it time; it always works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLien12x Posted August 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Mill Creek has never had a high class championship level football team in their programs history. They’ve had a lot of good teams. They’re a good program. They truly are. They have an ELITE player this year in five star Caleb Downs. Dynamic on both sides of the ball. They return a 2000+ yard passer. A Clemson commit at linebacker. Still it’s just not enough for me and it hasn’t ever been. Their best team was the 2015 group that ran into the Colquitt buzzaaw but even that year they wouldn’t have beaten Roswell the next week im just not sold on Mill Creek being a state champion ever. They’re a great litmus test. They’re a 7A gatekeeper. I’ll take Buford over them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other teams that will grind with them, and there are some that will stress them with a fantastic passing game. I can't tell how they'll fare against a high scoring offense through the air. If someone jumps on them with some quick strikes they gonna have to get off that 3 runs and a cloud of dust shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually give them a pass because the offense is either gonna be way ahead of the defense or the defense is gonna be way ahead of the offense. Now, if Buford doesn't have it together offensively by week3/4, then I'll begin to worry. Talent isn't the issue. They played a lot of musical chairs in the run game tonight.

Every 7A team in Georgia is gonna lay down for the mighty Buford. They scored two offensive times against a basically unimpressive Thompson who had less offense than them. We'll see.

RedZone Posted August 20, 2022 Report Share Posted August 20, 2022 Mallard Creek beat Myers Park 21-3 last night in the rain......Mallard Creek is always pretty ATHed up, but this doesn't seem to be one of their more star- studded teams..... Buford handled Myers Park last year 44-17. Buford 35 Mallard Creek, NC 13 Looks about right to Sure Shot! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I don't put a lot of thought into week 1 games. Give teams time to get their feet under them offensively and/or defensively. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
