Placeholder Image
To his friends, family, coaches and teammates, Adam Smith was a special young man. That’s why they’ve planned a special tribute to celebrate his memory when the Buford boys basketball team plays its home opener Friday against Banks County. Modeled after the Silent Night game held annually at Taylor University in Indiana, students will be admitted free to the game and are encouraged to dress in “kind of wild, crazy costumes,” Buford assistant coach Mike Lawley said.During the game, the crowd will remain absolutely silent until the Wolves score their 10th point — in honor of Smith’s jersey number — at which point the crowd will go wild and a timeout will be called so that a celebration may be held.
