A backyard brawl highlighted the high school football schedule Friday night, the ninth week of the 2010 season, as West and North Forsyth met for the third year in a row and the first time as region rivals. * North Forsyth 21, West Forsyth 0 North Forsyth used a dominant defensive outing and a handful of big plays on offense to smack first place West Forsyth 21-0 in a packed Raider Valley, throwing the Region 6-AAAAA picture into disarray with three weeks left in the season. Five teams are tied for first place in the region in the loss column, with West (6-2, 3-1) maintaining a one-half game lead due to having played one more game than North, Centennial, Milton and Roswell, each of whom is 2-1 in region play. After a scoreless first quarter, North (3-4, 2-1) broke through with 2:32 left before halftime as quarterback Joey Vicary (90 yards rushing, 66 yards passing, three touchdowns) connected with Nick Saponara on a 40-yard scoring strike.
