The Buford Lady Wolves, ranked No. 2 in the latest Class AA poll received a huge boost over the weekend when Andraya Carter returned after missing the first part of the season to injury. Carter, who is committed to play next season at Tennessee, tore ligaments in her knee last summer and had been out of action thus far this season. She returned with 8 points against Westminster over the weekend, and Buford coach Gene Durden is certainly glad she is back. “Draya has been working hard to make a comeback to our team during her senior year and has done an amazing job in taking all of the steps needed to make it happen.” Carter has returned to the lineup and has not skipped a beat according to Durden. “She looks and plays just like she always has.” Durden pointed out in an interview with Score that her hustle, passion and energy will help to give the team a boost going into the playoffs. ...

We expect her to be back in time for the playoffs.” ...

Alas the pair of par-three eagles was not enough to topple McKenzie Talbert, but Skinner did beat 67,000,000 to one odds (Boston University study for Golf Digest) of sinking two holes-in-one in a single round. ...
Harrison’s Ryan Blumenthal wasn’t the only Hoya to reach the 1000-point plateau this season. Blumenthal notched the mark against Dr. Phillips in the Hilton Invitational while girls standout Nikki Hegstetter tallied the mark earlier this season.
