MACON – As the heat slammed down on Anderson Field, West Forsyth's incredible season slowly began to melt away. Junior Brooke Pirkle nearly hit an equalizing goal in the second half, firing a cannon from long range that just scraped the top of the crossbar with 23 minutes to go, but the Lady Wolverines weren't able to produce another look as they fell, 2-1, in the Class AAAAAA state championship game Friday night against Lassiter at Five Star Stadium on the Mercer University campus. It was a sobering result for West and head coach Jason Bayush, who were the only team to have defeated Lassiter during the season.
