Warren County gets new coach, Buford on ESPN3

The Screaming Devils of Warren County have already suffered a loss and the season won’t officially kick off until this Friday night against Glascock County. According to WRDW (Augusta), the Warren County Board of Education has received and accepted Screaming Devils ex-head coach Marleau Blount’s letter of resignation. The reason for the resignation stemmed from the coach not securing proof of physical examinations for several players before the team began practicing, according to WRDW. The school will be fined for the violation of the GHSA rules says Superintendent Carole Jean Carey. Blount was 11-11 in two years as head coach after serving as an assistant for a decade. He took the Screaming Devils to the playoffs both years of his tenure. Defensive coordinator David Daniels will take over the team…

In a battle of volleyball champions from one year ago, the Walton Lady Raiders (Class 5A champions) knocked off Blessed Trinity (AA/A Champions) 25-20, 25-16. Walton also tagged Marist 25-12, 25-15. Tori Ferguson contributed to the cause with 25 assists and seven digs…

This Friday the Gainesville/Buford tilt at Buford will be broadcast not just locally but also worldwide on ESPN3. The four-time defending Class AA champion Buford Wolves have moved up in several of the national rankings, checking in at No.21 in Rivals 100 and No. 24 in the MaxPreps Xcellent 25. Jess Simpson’s squad will try and hold off the three-time region 8-AAA champion Gainesville Red Elephants, a team it has never lost to. Last season Buford smoked Gainesville 40-19 and last week spanked Blessed Trinity 42-0.
