Champions Collide: Baylor Raiders vs. Buford Wolves | Preseason Showdown Two state title programs. One stage. When the lights finally came on at Phillip Beard Stadium in Buford, Georgia, it was worth the wait. Tennessee's #1 ranked team, the Baylor Raiders of Chattanooga, roll in as the reigning 2025 Division II-AAA State Champions, built under Head Coach Eric Kimry since taking over the program in 2022. They travel to Georgia to face a program that knows exactly what a championship pedigree looks like. Standing across the field: the Buford Wolves, the 2025 6A State Champions, coached by Bryant Appling — a Buford lifer with 22 years on the staff and 7 seasons at the helm as Head Coach. Originally slated for a 7:30 PM kickoff, a rain delay pushed things back to 8:17 PM — but once the whistle blew, the wait didn't matter. 🏈 Baylor Raiders (TN) vs. Buford Wolves (GA) 📍 Phillip Beard Stadium, Buford, GA 🎥 Kickoff: 8:17 PM (delayed from 7:30 PM) The Corky Kell Classic on Wednesday, August 12th starts the Georgia season with two games - Grayson vs. North Gwinnett with game link @    • #10 North Gwinnett vs. #2 Grayson|8.12.26|...  , and Lanier vs. South Gwinnett with game link at    • #21 Lanier vs. #26 South Gwinnett |8.14.26...  . #nfl #ncaa #ncaafootball #peytonmanning #tennesseevolunteers #baylor
