Staff Reports

The 2011 Buford High School soccer team is looking to find the right team chemistry this spring.

The Jackets, who finished as the region runner-up last season in their final season in Class A with a 7-10 record, will look to blend veteran players with a cast of solid newcomers.

The BHS veterans are led by senior captains Justin Sims and fullback John Knight.

Sims and Knight reaped all-region honors last season when Knight also was named winner of the team’s Best Defensive Award.
