Buford Football To the Buford Community and Our Guests: On behalf of the Buford Board of Education and the Buford City School System, it is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Tom Riden Stadium at Buford High School. The Buford City School System has a strong tradition of football and a program that has been a source of pride for many years. The Buford football team has the distinct honor of being the 1978 and 2001 “A” Football State Champions, the 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 “AA” Football State Champions, the 2012 and 2013 “AAA” Football State Champions, and the 2014 “AAAA” Football State Champions. Among other accomplishments are an amazing 237 wins and only 14 losses in the past 17 seasons, a record for football programs in the state of Georgia. With each year, the program is growing and making strides to build upon its many successes and Buford Tradition. Coach John Ford and his assistants are providing strong leadership and dedication to the BHS football program. However, our program is a combined effort of many talented groups, including the Marching Band of Wolves, directed by Matt Young and assistants, and the Wolves cheerleading squad, coached by Morgan Collins and assistants. The faculty and staff are also included in this group because of their high academic expectations. As a result of these high expectations, many BHS student athletes and musicians have gone on to participate and find much success at the college level. Buford High School continues to be recognized as a leader for its commitment to academic quality and an overall standard of excellence in the total school program. The community and fan support of the BHS extracurricular programs makes a difference in the lives of young people. Together, let us continue to support and take pride in our BHS Wolves!
