The storms have passed but plenty of thunder is expected when Collins Hill visits Buford on this week’s edition of Football Fridays in Georgia.

The game can be seen on GPB-TV, GPB.org and the GPB Sports app. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m.

The two Class 6A powers from Gwinnett County – Collins Hill is ranked No. 7 and Buford is ranked No. 2 – both play in Region 8. Both teams must still play No. 8 Mill Creek, but the winner will have a leg up and the loser will face a tougher path toward winning a region championship.

Collins Hill began the week 5-0 overall and 1-0 in region play. The Eagles have a makeup game against Mountain View (0-5, 0-1) on Monday.

Buford is 4-1 overall and 1-0 in the region. The Wolves were off last week.

Although the two schools are only 12 miles apart, they have played only two times, with Buford winning both. The Wolves prevailed 43-0 last year and 23-3 in 2022.

This week’s GPB Streaming Game of the Week is Jackson County at Apalachee on Friday at 7:30 p.m. The game can be viewed on GPB.org and will be available on-demand at the conclusion.
