Both the varsity and JV girls’ soc-cer teams came to the end of a hard fought season. The season was ex-tended due to multiple weather cancel-lations, but even so, the girls pushed through the long season showing their dedication and perseverance.

The JV girls’ soccer team finished the season with a record of 2-7. Both wins were against Atkins and were well deserved. There was a visible improvement in the team as the sea-son progressed. Many members of the team developed so quickly that they are looking forward to a spot on

the varsity team next year.The varsity girls were just as dedi-

cated to the team. Their record of 1-8 does not truly reflect the blood, sweat, and tears they put into the season. Their win against Atkins was a solid win of 8-6. This year was called a “year of growth,” meaning the work they put into the team this year will come into play next year.

Even after all the cancellations and game rearrangements, the var-sity and JV girls’ soccer teams stayed on track. It’s definite that next year’s season will be one to look forward to.

The golf team began as a little known sport but gained notoriety over the years. The North Forsyth Golf Team competes weekly against other schools with all home matches played at Longcreek Golf Club.

The team enjoyed the trips off campus to go to their matches. Sophomores Austin McDonald and Danny Tyler supported this by saying, “It was always fun to be able to leave school early. That was one of my favorite parts.” As with any sport, getting to miss school is one of the many incentives to join.

The team had a great season coming in fourth place in the conference. With a Mid-Piedmont record of 12-18 and an overall record of 16-29, they more than earned their fourth place spot. Individually the golfers excelled as well. Senior Andrew Cody was named an All-Conference player and participated in the 3-A Mideast Regional Competition. Freshman Joseph Shore also competed in the regional competition.

The season ended well, and all the members enjoyed it to the fullest.

It’s the end of the year, which means end of a great season. After a bumpy start, the boys’ tennis team pulled out all the stops and won an entire match against Southeast Guilford. The team’s overall score at the end of the season was 1-7.

The coach of the tennis team was Ms. Zagrodnik. She felt that the season was very good and that it was exciting to win a match. She also had a few heart felt words to the team: “The boys worked hard and came a long way. The team worked well together, and they were all good players. Next year we will have several returning players that will bring the team closer together. I will coach next year, and

I am exciting about it. I really enjoy working with the players.”

These promising players were seniors Logan Brendle and Adrian Torres; juniors Cody Petree, Kyle Watson, and Tyler White; along with sophomores Chris Ehren and Deion Woods. Logan Brendle stands out because he was chosen as North Forsyth’s Athlete of the Year for his outstanding performance on the swim team and tennis team. Kyle Watson, 11th, had a few parting words for next year: “The season was fun. I learned a lot, and I’m looking forward to next season.”

“Swing batter, batter, swing!” The North Forsyth Varsity Baseball Team did just that, and they had an incredible season. The team finished their season with a record of 11-11. The baseball team blew out Southern Guilford on April 20 with a final score of 8-0. The team also defeated East Forsyth (9-5) on April 22. The Vikings went on to compete valiantly against Northeast Guilford, Ledford, Southwestern Randolph, and Ragsdale but came up just a little short in those games.

Due to the team’s hard work as a unit and the individual, self-determination of each player, the varsity baseball team did

exactly what they strove to do at the beginning of the season. They practiced, played extremely hard, learned from their mistakes, and put 100% effort in all that they could. North Forsyth commends the varsity baseball team on a hard fought season and appreciates each coach and player for their great work in representing the Vikings in an incredible fashion.

A Grand Slam to the Season

The JV baseball season came to a bittersweet ending. Sophomore Greg Gentry stated, “This year was an improvement, and I enjoyed playing on this team.” Although the team had a few coaching problems which included Coach Short getting thrown out of a game for refusing to give his name to the umpire, they made an overall improvement. The team started the season in a new conference that included Southwestern Randolph, Ledford, Northeast Guilford, Southern Guilford, and Asheboro. They finished with two wins against Southwestern Randolph and Northeast Guilford. The rest were unfortunately losses. The JV baseball team ended the season

with a total of two wins after sixteen games played. They have several sophomores that plan to come back for second or third years on the team. These members include Greg Gentry, Ryan Hall, Bradley Sawyer, and junior Josh Wilson. After the coaching issues and a dramatic ending, the JV baseball team was proud of the improved game record they had his season.LeeAnna Kincaid
