Week 1: AJC Georgia high school football scoreboard (Aug. 14-17, 2024)

Milton beat Buford in a battle of nationally ranked teams, Carrollton won an ESPN-televised game against Woodward Academy, and three No. 1 teams and 19 others in the top 10 lost on the opening Friday night of the Georgia high school football season.

Rain was a big story too, especially in north Georgia, as several games were delayed, suspended or pushed to Saturday.

Buford was one of those No. 1 teams to go down, though it wasn’t a serious upset, as Milton – which won 13-10, never trailing in a rain-delayed game that ended at midnight – was the 2023 Class 7A champion.
