MARIETTA — T.J. Custer’s last-minute heroics put the pressure on Kell, but it wasn’t enough for Forsyth Central to complete a rally. Despite some spotty free throw shooting, the Longhorns survived two 3-pointers by Custer in the final 39 seconds of the Region 7-AAAAA opener and pulled out a 44-40 victory on Saturday at Sprayberry High School. Central’s season is now complete.
