It wasn’t easy, but thanks to a couple of failed fourth-down conversions by Johns Creek late in the game, North Forsyth was able to hold onto a halftime lead and earn its first win of the season 14-13 at Raider Valley on Friday. “Monkey off our backs,” North head coach Jason Galt said. “I’ve won a bunch of games in my career and lost a bunch of games in my career, and as far as feeling good after a victory this is one that ranks up there just because of all the adversity we’ve dealt with this year.”
