West is coming off a 6-4 season that ended a streak of four straight state playoffs appearances, tied for most in Forsyth County history. The Wolverines, like Mill Creek, have had to retool this offseason, and the center of that retooling is junior Kiernen Hamilton, who looks to be the replacement for the graduated Hampton McConnell (signed with Georgia Southern). Hamilton looked good in West’s scrimmage against Carrollton two weeks ago, completing 15 of 18 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown.
