SAVANNAH, Ga. () — The biggest high school football game in the state of Georgia this week will be played in Hostess City at Memorial Stadium. Benedictine hosts Buford in Week 2.

The Cadets, ranked No. 2 in Class AAAA, come in at 0-1 after losing on the road to Colquitt County, the No. 9 team in Class AAAAAA. Benedictine head coach Danny Britt said his team gave away the contest because they committed undisciplined penalties.

Buford is 1-0 and ranked No. 2 in Class AAAAAA. They defeated Milton, 20-13, in a Week 1 game televised on ESPN2.

This is the second straight week the Cadets will face a team in Georgia’s highest classification. These two powerhouses also played last year. The game ended in a one-point victory for Buford, which is something BC has not forgotten.

“When you’re thinking about playing with the top teams in the country and you lose like a game like that in such a fashion, the way we did it with a bunch of trick plays and stuff at the end,” junior running back and slot back Stanley Smart Jr. said. “It hurts. I believe I ended up crying after the game because I was just super emotional. This year, we got something for them.”

“I know that they’ve already talked about the amount of tickets that have sold is ridiculous, so I think there’s a lot of people there,” Britt said. “They’ll kind of be on-the-fence-type people, but we’ll have our full crowd and I think that’ll help us.”

The game between Buford and Benedictine kicks off Aug. 22 at 7:30 p.m. at Memorial Stadium.
