Buford Lands 300-Unit Luxury Complex as Atlanta Apartment Construction Slows

Source: Metropolitan Transportation Authority of the State of New York / Wikimedia Commons. A 10-acre site at the northeast corner of Buford Drive and Laurel Crossing Parkway in Buford is now home to Autry at Tulip Grove, a 300-unit luxury apartment community that developer Thompson Thrift says it expects to welcome its first residents to in January 2027. The project is moving forward at a moment when apartment builders across metro Atlanta are doing the opposite, pulling back sharply as elevated vacancy and higher capital costs make new projects harder to pencil out.

Collins Hill fights into playoffs for Round 1 meeting with unbeaten Newton

After an 0-4 start in non-region play, Collins Hill couldn’t afford any missteps over its final six football games if it wanted to crack the top 32 in the Georgia High School Association’s PSR Power Rankings and earn a state playoff spot. The Eagles needed to keep winning and did just that, going 5-1 down the stretch (the lone loss was to 10-0, defending state champion Buford). They beat Region 8-AAAAAAA’s lower tier teams and topped the two teams also in the postseason discussion — 52-40 over Dacula and 42-34 over Mill Creek. Game 10 wasn’t as much of a test for Collins Hill, which rolled to a 56-6 win over Discovery last week. Jamel Tuff caught four passes — three for touchdowns — for 103 yards, and Kevin Hughes had four catches for 67 yards and two TDs. Johnny Paulk provided a spark with two punt returns for 69 yards. Solomon Thomas (11 tackles, two for losses, three QB hurries, sack, interception) and Christian Fleming (four tackles, one for loss, forced fumble, fumble recovery) were among the defensive standouts last week. Those region wins were good enough to get Class AAAAAAA’s No. 31 seed out of 32 for Friday’s

Archer survives tough region for state playoff trip

When the Class AAAAAAA high school brackets were finalized last weekend, Archer and North Cobb drew a familiar opponent in the first round. The two teams played each other the previous two years in the regular season, so Friday’s state playoff matchup makes it three straight seasons. North Cobb won both previous meetings, 28-14 at home in 2025 and 49-21 at Archer in 2024. Archer reached the postseason while navigating an incredibly tough schedule that included No. 3 overall seed Carrollton before a region slate that featured No. 2 Newton, No. 12 Grayson and No. 19 South Gwinnett. The Tigers were off last week after a 49-23 loss at Newton in Game 10. After losing record-breaking Jordan Do to graduation off last season’s team, Archer still leans heavily on its quarterback, Jamal Ambler. The junior has 1,797 passing yards and 17 TDs, along with 241 rushing yards and three TDs. His top targets are Robbie Dunn Jr. (65 catches, 722 yards, nine TDs), Avery Booth (34-433-3), Jayden Davis (24-312-3) and Gary Isaac (23-175-4). Archer’s defensive playmakers include Joshua Booker (68 tackles, three for losses, five caused fumbles), Kevin Gwibuka (65 tackles, three for losses, four interceptions, two caused fumbles, one

Rainbow Village receives $1.1 million federal grant to expand housing and services for homeless families

Rainbow Village is receiving a $1.1 million federal investment to help expand housing and support services for families experiencing homelessness, marking a significant milestone in the nonprofit’s ongoing efforts to address housing instability across Metro Atlanta. Approximately two years into its Building Homes, Building Hope Capital Campaign, the organization was awarded the funding through the Congressionally Directed Community Project Funding (CPF) process, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The funding was secured through the efforts of Senator Raphael Warnock. The investment comes as Rainbow Village prepares for one of the most transformative expansions in its 35-year history. Plans call for the construction of 36 additional apartments on its campus, increasing its residential capacity from 30 to 66 families. Beyond expanding its housing options, the federal funding will help strengthen the organization’s programs, services and infrastructure to accommodate the growing number of families it serves. “Too many Georgia families are struggling to keep up with rising housing costs, making the need for affordable housing increasingly urgent,” Warnock said. “I’m glad this federal funding is going towards Rainbow Village Inc. to support the construction of transitional housing for Georgians experiencing homelessness in Gwinnett County. Affordable housing provides

Whitefield Academy welcoms in Mount Pisgah to open postseason

Whitefield Academy won its fifth consecutive game with last week's 56-44 come-from-behind Region 5AA victory over Trinity Christian and in the process captured its second region championship in the last four years. The reward for the hard work is an opportunity to host Mount Pisgah Christian on Friday in the first round of the Class AA-AAAA Private state playoffs. This is Whitefield's 10th straight trip to the postseason, and it enters the matchup averaging 43.2 points per game while holding opponents to 22.4. The Wolfpack have scored 42-or more points in each of their last five games and kept opponents from scoring 20-or-more points in three of their last four games. Led by Landon Ryan (96-of-150, 1,579 yds., 20 TDs), Amos Robinson (189 car., 1,206 yds., 18 TDs), Ian Kelly (44 rec., 702 yds., 12 TDs) and West Virgina commit Luke Linder (tight end), Whitefield believes that it has momentum entering the playoffs and is looking for it to continue. "Ever since our non-region schedule, the kids have really bought in to what we've been teaching them," Whitefield coach Robert Walsh said. "They've learned a lot. And early on when we were down in games and had to battle back,

Central Gwinnett grad launches CollegeSeats to make college football ticket buying more affordable and secure

Adis Tucakovic and his friends had been burned one too many times buying tickets for college football games on the secondary marketplace. So the former Lawrenceville resident decided to “make a difference” by starting his own college-football ticket platform, CollegeSeats. “I’ve been on both sides of the ticketing problem — buying and selling,” said Tucakovic. “That’s where I came from with CollegeSeats and make a difference by putting a little positivity in the world. If you’ve ever bought tickets for a game, you have to find seats on a site, and the price looks fine and once you get to checkout, suddenly its 30% higher because of fees. “Or if you go to a Facebook group, then you’re sending money to strangers, hoping the tickets are real. That’s the burn. There’s always one winner and it’s the people setting the fees. Those are the people who are collecting the money — they are the winners. Everyone else — the buyers and the sellers — are the losers because of the fees.” A 2020 graduate of Central Gwinnett High School who went on to earn a degree in computer science from the University of Georgia, Tucakovic works for the U.S. Air

Lassiter back in playoffs after 10 years

Lassiter will travel to Gainesville for a first round matchup in the Class AAAAAA playoffs this Friday night. The game will mark a milestone for the Trojans (8-2), as they have not played a postseason game in 10 years. Lassiter coach Sean Thom said he’s proud of his team for making the playoffs, and acknowledged his players set this as a goal heading into the 2026 regular season. “Excited for them. This is what they’ve worked for, this has been one of the goals,” Thom said. “The mission really doesn’t change, of what our football program is, but the vision, what they want to accomplish. Everybody said ‘Let’s play an 11th game,’ so they did that. I’m proud of the kids, I’m happy for them.” Thom said the support from the Lassiter fanbase and community as a whole has been excellent throughout his tenure at the school, but acknowledged the support and atmosphere around the team this season has been special. “I’ve told our kids, you rewind seven years ago, our place was always packed, and my message used to be ‘Give them a reason to stay.’ Now, when over the years you’ve built this thing up, you have given

Preserving the Past: Pups with Purpose, a second chance for dogs and inmates at the Forsyth County Jail

Since then, inmate dog-training programs have been established in almost every state. Successful programs require dedicated staff, carefully selected and committed inmates and dogs of a certain temperament.

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
