STORY 1: Buford Grad Ashton Daniels Excels as Stanford QB

Stanford quarterback Ashton Daniels, a former Buford High star, aims for a breakout season after two challenging years with the Cardinal. Despite Stanford's 3-9 records in both of Daniels' seasons so far, he's optimistic about a turnaround under new head coach Troy Taylor. Daniels, who was recently named to the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award watch list, reflects on his transition from high school success, where he led Buford to three state championships. As Stanford joins the ACC, Daniels looks forward to the new challenges and opportunities, including high-profile games against teams like Clemson and Notre Dame. He's excited about the chance to play in front of family and friends on the East Coast and hopes the team’s improved confidence and chemistry will drive their success this season.

STORY 2: Peachtree Corners Business Owner Honored By Berry College

Berry College has honored Leroy Hite, class of 2008, with its Distinguished Alumni Award for Entrepreneurial Spirit. Hite, founder of Cutting Edge Firewood, was recognized for his entrepreneurial achievements and innovation in the firewood industry. His company, established in 2013, revolutionized firewood with a focus on luxury and quality. Starting with just one truck and trailer, Cutting Edge Firewood now employs 40 people, operates a 40,000-square-foot warehouse, and ships nationwide. Hite credits Berry College for igniting his entrepreneurial spirit and nurturing his drive and resilience. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp supported Hite's nomination, highlighting his perseverance and impact.

STORY 3: ThunderROARus Ready to Compete When Monster Jam Returns to Gwinnett

Tony Ochs, a Monster Jam driver for seven years, recently transitioned from driving the Soldier of Fortune Black Ops truck to the new ThunderROARus, a dinosaur-themed vehicle. This change has allowed Ochs to showcase his lively personality, much to the delight of fans. He’ll compete at Gas South Arena in Duluth on August 31 and September 1, alongside other iconic trucks like Grave Digger and El Toro Loco. Ochs, a U.S. Army veteran with a decade in Monster Jam, remains focused on improving his skills and is excited about a new Monster Jam movie featuring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
