This Georgia Steakhouse Serves A Generous Prime Rib Dinner On Select Nights
A steakhouse sits inside a 1901 bank building, and the old vault is still there. That alone would get my attention. Then you learn the steaks are cooked over pecan and oak wood. The owner has spent more than 60 years in the meat business. He and his son hand-cut...

Like 2019, Buford's state football playoff path likely to feature run of road trips
There was no surprise about what was coming. Given the current state of the Georgia High School Association’s new PSR Power Rankings, the Buford football team was likely headed for worse seed than it deserved. A 10-0 record, 25 straight wins and last year’s state and national championships and top-three national rankings don’t help much with the PSR system, which dinged the Wolves for out-of-state wins over top programs Mallard Creek (N.C.) and Miami Central (Fla.) and for a region that sent only one other team to the playoffs (Collins Hill as the No. 31 seed out of 32 teams). That led to a No. 9 seed for Buford for the Class AAAAAAA state playoffs, which begin Friday with a home game against Marietta. Barring considerable upsets, that seed likely will put the Wolves on the road for the rest of the postseason. The second-round will be at No. 8 North Cobb unless No. 25 Archer can pull a first-round shocker, then a quarterfinal could await at No. 1 Valdosta. It isn’t the ideal scenario, but Buford has been there before — and won it all. Its 2019 team was upset by Clarke Central in Game 10, but still finished

New PSR produces unlikely matchup between Marietta and Buford in Round 1
Marietta has a tall task ahead this Friday night, as the Blue Devils will travel to Buford to take on the Wolves in the first round of the Class AAAAAAA playoffs. Blue Devils coach Cameron Duke spoke highly of Buford’s talent and coaching, acknowledging the tough task ahead of the Blue Devils this week. The Wolves (10-0) are the No. 3 team in the nation according to MaxPreps. The new PSR system for playoff seeding implemented by the Georgia High School Association this season impacted both teams. Marietta (6-4) and Buford were both negatively impacted by playing two out-of-state games, which don’t carry the same weight in the formula as in-state games do. Marietta is the 24th-seeded team in Class AAAAAAA, while Buford is No. 9. Duke said the way the Blue Devils’ two out-of-state games affected their seed may impact how they approach scheduling moving forward if changes aren’t made. “We’re grateful for the opportunities that we had to go play the NFL Academy and play St. Cloud, who’s a playoff team down in Florida, and I believe Buford would say the same thing about playing Mallard Creek out of North Carolina and Miami Central out of Florida,” Duke
