Quarterback Bailey Hockman threw three touchdown passes to lead the Indians to a 34-14 defeat of Buford, Ga., ending the Wolves’ winning streak at 42 games. Making McEachern’s win more impressive was that Buford beat Eastern Christian Academy (Elkton, Md.) two weeks ago and ECA defeated then-No. 13 Paramus (N.J.) Catholic 42-20 on Friday.
