Very rarely are high school football games deemed big enough to receive national television audiences (which might not be a bad thing).
Friday’s game between Mill Creek and Buford High Schools in Georgia, however, was no ordinary contest. Both are national powers, and both entered the game 6-0. Buford boasts future Georgia quarterback Dylan Raiola; the action on ESPN2 drew eyeballs across the Peach State and beyond.
With under a minute left, Mill Creek clung to a 31-24 lead with Buford driving toward a potential tie. Instead of a fantastic finish, however, viewers were treated to … preseason basketball.
