It's playoff time, and Buford had no trouble coming through when it counted. They enjoyed a cozy 30-15 win over the Douglas County Tigers on Friday. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Wolves' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' national football rankings (they are ranked seventh, while the Tigers are ranked 57th).
Buford can attribute much of their success to Dylan McCoy, who rushed for 123 yards on only 14 carries. Those 123 rushing yards gave McCoy a new career-high.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Buford was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 239 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Douglas County only rushed for 102.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Buford's defense and their six sacks. Douglas County's QB won't forget Dre Quinn anytime soon given he sacked him twice. Quinn has been hot, having also posted five or more total tackles the last seven times he's played. Bryce Perry-Wright was another major factor on D, picking up a sack and making 11 total tackles.
When it comes to explaining why Douglas County lost, don't look at MIKE JOHNSON. Despite the final result, he rushed for 66 yards and one touchdown on only seven carries, and also threw for 200 yards on 17 of 30 attempts.
