Buford is hoping to do what Anson couldn't on Wednesday: put an end to Central's winning streak, which now stands at four games. Central put the hurt on Anson with a sharp 32-7 victory. Considering the Eagles have won three games by more than 21 points this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Buford). They secured a 41-36 W over North Central on Saturday. The win was some much needed relief for the Yellowjackets as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Buford to victory, but perhaps none more so than Marvin Randolph, who rushed for 79 yards and two touchdowns. An impressive showing, but Randolph really ramped things up playing D: he forced two fumbles and made nine total tackles (2.0 for loss). Cole Carnes was another key pass catcher, picking up 136 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Buford wouldn't let North Central keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force three fumbles. Buford can thank Randolph and Trevan Roberts for forcing all of them. Buford got some further help from Carter Alstun: he made 13 total tackles and defended two passes.
Central's victory bumped their record up to 4-1. As for Buford, their win bumped their record up to 2-3.
Central beat Buford 33-24 when the teams last played back in September of 2023. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Buford's Aaron Morris, who picked up 130 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 60 yards on only five carries. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for Central to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
