Joel Williams and Clint Fair kick off 2026 by welcoming Buford Wolves Head Coach Brian Applin, fresh off a state championship (Buford's 15th) and national recognition.
Coach Applin breaks down "The Buford Way" and what triple-A excellence really means: excellence in academics, athletics, and the arts, plus doing the little things the right way, even when nobody's watching. He shares the mentors who shaped him (including Dexter Wood, Jess Simpson, and Dickie May), how he keeps practice competitive and fast-paced, and why "winning at home" matters just as much as winning on Friday night.
The conversation also gets real, as Coach talks family, balancing the demands of coaching, and what led he and his wife to become foster parents. Great stories, great perspective, and a perfect way to start the new year.
