South Forsyth’s boys didn’t spend much time looking over their shoulders the way North Forsyth’s girls did, but both teams got what they wanted. The War Eagles steamrolled all local rivals with 88 points, while the Lady Raiders tallied 59 to eke out first place by four points in the Forsyth County track & field championships, held Wednesday and Thursday at West Forsyth High School. "I’ve just got to attribute [the success] to the kids," South head coach Jake Martin said.
