Hugo football coach David Barker says the Buffaloes are primed and ready to tee it up against his old alma mater — the Dickson Comets — at Gene Nesbit Stadium Friday night. Barker said the Comets will bring a quick and athletic junior quarterback to lead their offense that likes to spread-it-out with as many as five receivers, including one speed-burner, on a play.
