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.

Buford dominates Marietta in second half
BUFORD – Buford's defense is known to keep even the explosive offenses grounded. Marietta, which averaged nearly 40 points a game this season, couldn't get on the board until the final minute of the game. Therefore, the Blue Devils settled for a 30-6 loss to the Wolves on Friday in the first round of the Class AAAAAAA state playoffs at Phillip Beard Stadium. Quarterback Jayden Whiteside, who threw for more than 2,300 yards during the regular season with 29 touchdowns and only six interceptions, struggled to find his rhythm. He threw for 107 yards, had two interceptions and was sacked six times. His best moment was connecting with Jackson Nesmith for a 29-yard touchdown with 28 seconds left to play in the game, preventing the Wolves (11-0) from achieving their fifth straight shutout. “It was a talented defense across the board,” Marietta coach Cameron Duke said. “We did some stuff that hurt us as well, but (Buford) has a great defense.” Meanwhile, Marietta's defense was solid throughout the first half with Buford leading just 7-0 at the break. While a Buford penalty did nullify a first-down touchdown, the Blue Devils (6-5) were getting stops before halftime after Buford's opening drive.

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
