Georgia QB recruit Dylan Raiola suffers first loss, Mill Creek beats Buford

Defending Georgia state champion Mill Creek dealt UGA commit Dylan Raiola and his Buford Wolves a 31-24 defeat on Friday night.

The game was televised by ESPN2, but the network unexpectedly cut away in the final minute to get the scheduled NBA preseason action.

Raiola was 19-of-45 passing for 282 yards and 2 touchdowns for Buford, which entered ranked No. 5 in the nation by MaxPreps and falls to 6-1 with the loss to unbeaten Mill Creek (7-0).

Buford coach Bryant Appling spoke to AccessWdun after the game.

“We had some balls slip through our hands, but you can’t blame the weather because that’s hard to control,” Appling said. “Dylan played great. He gave us a chance at the end, and that’s all you can ask for.”
