West Forsyth came out firing and never let up.Nick Staiti drained three consecutive 3-pointers in the first quarter to help guide the Wolverines to a 49-40 victory South Forsyth on Friday at West Forsyth High School.Staiti’s shots set the tone for the Wolverines who never trailed and took a 14-5 lead to end the first quarter.“Those [shots] were huge,” West head coach Jim Cook said. “We’ve been waiting for him to come out of his shooting slump. He’s been working extremely hard on his shot and it’s good to see him come out here in front of his home crowd and knock down some shots.”West (2-4, 1-2 Region 6B-AAAAAA) was lights-out from 3-point range, shooting 8-for-10, while the War Eagles could never find their groove.
