FOR THE CHRONICLE
Tonight's (Oct. 15) West Forsyth-Mount Tabor
match-up figures to be the game of the JV football sea
son. The Titans are undefeated and have a shot at run
ning the table to achieve perfection by season's end.
The Spartans are one of two teams left on the sched
ule (the other is North Davidson) who have a reasonable
chance to end West Forsyth's win streak. Kickoff is set
for 6 o'clock on Mount Tabor s home turf.
A look at the numbers seems to favor the Titans, who ^
average 38.2 points per game. What makes West ^
Forsyth's offense so formidable is its ability to score
points in a hurry in a variety of ways. The ground game ^
is stellar with Kenyar McPhatter and Mack Duke getting W
most of the totes. Quarterback Drew Latham gets ample
help from break-away receivers Jamon Brown and

FOR THE CHRONICLE
The Mount Tabor-Reynolds JV foot
ball game was nip-and-tuck in the first
half.
But by the end of the third quarter, the
Spartans seized total control and cruised to
30-6 road win last Thursday (Oct. 8). For
three-and-a-half quarters, the defense kept
the Demons under wraps. Offensively,
Mount Tabor (4-2, 2-1 Central Piedmont
4-A Conference) generated enough of a
spark to win by a comfortable margin.
"This team always plays hard, but
doesn't always play smart," said Coach
Tieshaun Brown of Mount Tabor.
"Defensively we are solid. But we've got
to find ways to get more from our offense.
If we can get that going, we'll really have
something.
"I give a lot of props to Reynolds.
They've got a good defense and their pass
ing game is legit."
With the win. Mount Tabor is back on
track and looks to continue its win streak
when it plays host to undefeated West
Forsyth tonight at 6. There's no denying
the excitement in Brown's voice when he
talks about the upcoming match-up.
"This (tonight's) game is the reason
why you coach," said Brown. "I'm really
looking forward to seeing how well we can
play"
For the Spartans and Demons, the third
quarter proved to be pivotal. Mount Tabor,
who led 8-0 at the end of the first half,
scored a couple of quick touchdowns to
