The West Forsyth girls’ basketball team felt the moment slipping away. With under a minute left, the Lady Wolverines’ double-digit lead over Alpharetta had diminished to just two points, point guard Conner Parker had fouled out and two other starters had four fouls. West’s hopes of securing a spot in the state tournament, and a potential rematch with rival North Forsyth in the Region 6-AAAAAA tournament semifinals, were tenuous.
