The front page of the Waynesboro News Virginian says it all: "Stampede to glory: Buffalo Gap 28, Clintwood 19."
It was a perfect season for the Buffalo Gap High School football team ... and the News Virginian covered them all the way with "Bison Extra" sections in the newspaper on a daily basis. Kudos to their excellent coverage of an event that was of such importance to so many in Augusta County.
Buffalo Gap, affectionately known in this area simply as "Gap," won their first ever Group A, Division 1 state title.
The Sunday NV had front page coverage, and there were more articles in the Bison Extra section with headlines that screamed in 72-point type, "PERFECT! BISON CAP UNDEFEATED SEASON WITH FIRST FOOTBALL TITLE."
Yep. Western Augusta County was a ghost town yesterday as hundreds headed south to Salem for the big game where the stands were packed with spectators from Gap and Clintwood. There will be much celebrating as players, parents, and students replay the game's highlights today at church and at school in the upcoming week.
Undefeated. Now there's something that doesn't come along every day. What a Christmas gift for those players and their fans!
Congratulations to Buffalo Gap High School!
Augusta County's Buffalo Gap High School Division 1A State Champions!
