In Milton, Georgia, high school football took center stage as the 2024 season kicked off with an eagerly anticipated matchup. The reigning state champions, Milton High School, hosted the formidable Buford High School on the first Friday night of the season. For fans and players alike, it felt less like mid-December and more like late summer, as the excitement filled the air.
Milton, ranked No. 1 in the SBLive 2024 Georgia High School Football Top 25 Rankings, came into the game looking to continue their success from the previous season. Last year, the Eagles faced just two losses – one to Florida’s Western and another to North Cobb. They rebounded impressively, going on a 10-game winning streak that culminated in a 31-21 victory over Walton in the Class 7A state championship game. The Eagles not only dominated Georgia but are also recognized nationally, sitting at No. 6 in the country.
Meanwhile, Buford High School, the second-ranked team in Georgia and No. 13 nationally, aimed to establish themselves as a powerhouse as well. With an experienced roster, including several defenders committed to major college programs, Buford was determined to challenge Milton. The Wolves finished last season with an impressive 11-2 record but faced elimination by Grayson in the playoffs.
The game unfolded with the Eagles taking an early lead, scoring 7 points in the first quarter. Buford struggled to respond, and by the end of the third quarter, Milton held a lead of 13-2. Buford finally managed to find the end zone in the fourth quarter but could not complete the comeback, resulting in a final score of 13-10 in favor of Milton.
As the action continues, fans can stay updated with live scores and updates throughout the night, making this an exciting start to the high school football season.
