West Forsyth may not have been prepared for the battle it faced when the team bus rolled up to Starr’s Mill’s stadium Friday night, but the Wolverines proved their toughness and will to win with a 33-29 victory over a gritty Panther squad in a non-region game. It was a classic matchup of two great rushing attacks, and West (2-1) pulled out the win on the back of a dominant, come-from-behind scoring drive late in the game and a defensive stand to close it out. In a game that had six lead changes in the second half, the Wolverines made just enough plays to get the victory.
