It’s no secret that Buford and North Hall are the teams to beat in Region 7-AAA this season. They might even be the teams to beat in all of Class AAA. The Wolves claimed their eighth state championship in the past 12 years last season, while the Trojans won the Region 7-AAA title and advanced to the state semifinals for the second time in program history. Both appear ready to make another deep postseason run, stealing a chunk of suspense from the playoff race, but Region 7-AAA is not without intrigue.
