Both teams are football powerhouses and have a perfect 6-0 record this season in Georgia high school football. The two teams will square off at 7 p.m. Friday night in Hoschton at Mill Creek High and be featured on the ESPN2 network, broadcasting not only all around the USA, but also worldwide. Buford is ranked No. 1 and Mill Creek No. 2 in AAAAAAA football in the entire state.
Mill Creek captured the Georgia 7A state championship last season, going 14-1, with their only loss coming to Buford 39-27 in regular season play.
The game could pave the way toward one team having an undefeated season. There’s also the possibility that the two teams might meet again at playoff time.
