Buford has gone a perfect 3-0 against Douglas County recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Wolves will square off against the Tigers at 7:00 p.m. One thing working in Buford's favor is that they have posted at least 31 points in their last 11 games.

Given the Tigers' advantage in MaxPreps' Georgia football rankings (they are ranked ninth, while the Warriors are ranked 60th) , the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Douglas County's win came from a few key players Buford will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was MIKE JOHNSON, who rushed for 25 yards and two scores, and also threw for 201 yards on 13 of 20 attempts. He has been hot recently, having posted two or more rushing touchdowns the last three times he's played. Zamarcus Lindley was another key player, rushing for 100 yards and a pair of TDs.

Friday's matchup will pit two of the most dominant signal callers against one another: Dayton Raiola and JOHNSON. Raiola just won't slow down this season and has thrown 25 touchdowns (and and only 4 picks) while averaging 149.3 passing yards per game. JOHNSON has been a dominant force too and has averaged 177.6 passing yards per game.

Buford was able to grind out a solid win over Douglas County in their previous meeting back in September, winning 34-26. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Wolves since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
