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

Grey Richardson excels as Buford wrestling state champ, football defensive lineman
Anytime, anywhere. That’s the motto for Grey Richardson, a state champion wrestler in his weight class and a key member of Buford’s state championship football team last season. It’s not a combination of sports that usually goes together with the calendars overlapping and the physical demands both require, but none of it bothers Richardson. Not even when the two schedules completely back into each other. “I love his attitude,” Buford wrestling head coach Tom Beuglas said. “For example, we’re going out to Kansas City two days after the football state championship. And if we make it, he’s going to have to stay and play football. And I go, ‘I guess you’re not going to be going to Kansas City.’ And he goes, ‘Oh, I’m going!’” Richardson plays on the defensive line in football, a body type that creates both advantages and disadvantages for wrestling. On one hand, a lot of the techniques are the same. Getting leverage, using his hands, beating the guy in front of him. But in the same vein he wrestles in the 285-pound division, a spot many schools either can’t fill or maybe only have one wrestler. It meant at times he had to wrestle a
