North Forsyth scored 21 unanswered in the second half to knock off Forsyth Central 28-14 in the season’s opening scrimmage on Friday night. While this game might not count in the win-loss column, the sounds of cowbells, whistles, and the crunching of shoulder pads can only signify one thing: high school football is back. “When you get out here and start doing pregame warm-ups and the fans start showing up, your blood starts boiling and the juices start flowing, it’s a nice feeling,” North head coach Jason Galt said Central’s varsity outscored North 14-7 in the first half, but both coaches expressed that their teams have plenty to work on before the real games start two weeks from now.
