MACON — Earlier in the week, Buford senior Rakim Lubin went on record saying if the Buford Wolves could stop Morgan County senior Tookie Brown, the Wolves would win a state championship. Unfortunately for the Wolves, Brown saved one of his best performances for Saturday’s Class AAA state championship game at the Macon Centreplex. Committed to Mississippi State, Brown scored a game-high 36 points and guided Morgan County to a 69-45 rout of Buford, earning the school’s first-ever basketball state title.
