State Quarterfinal: West Forsyth 3, Walton 1 ; Next: State Semifinal, West Forsyth vs/at Harrison on Tuesday West Forsyth’s prom was just a few hours away, and girls soccer coach Jason Bayush was worried if his team would be focused enough to play a state quarterfinal match against fifth-ranked Walton. Junior defender Carsen Parker proved to her head coach that the Lady Wolverines were dialed in, single-handedly turning the game in West’s favor with 34 minutes to go in the contest. After West goalkeeper A.J. Needham hit the deck to block a shot on goal, one of Walton’s forwards thought she had a clear shot at an equalizer—then Parker seemingly popped out of the ground and took the brunt of the rocket-shot with her body.
