Forsyth Central rode the coattails of senior running back Sabrian Howard to get its first win of season at home on Friday night, outlasting River Ridge 31-21. Central (1-0, 0-0) thought it was starting the Frank Hepler era last week against Dawson County High School, but the game was called a no contest at halftime due to weather. The Bulldogs trailed at halftime, but they escaped without a mark on their record.
