Carver is on full steam
roller mode in junior varsi
ty football.
Coming off a lengthy
period of inactivity, the
Yellowjackets have shown
no signs of rust. That's
somewhat surprising when
you consider that Coach
Alonzo Winfield's team
didn't play for 38 days
because of games that were
postponed due to inclement
weather.
Over the past two
weeks, Carver (4-1, 2-0
Western Piedmont 2-A
Conference) has dominated
the opposition. Most
recently, the Yellowjackets
posted a 38-13 victory over
North Surry on last
Thursday.
Phillip Legette got the
scoring party started when
he returned the opening
kickoff 80 yards for the
first of his two touchdowns
for the game. The special
teams contributed when B.
Purnell blocked a punt and
Jeremy Brown-Middleton
picked up the loose ball
and ran it back 50 yards for
another score.

North Surry contest.
Carver hung a 40-0 whip
ping on Surry Central. TJ.
Boyce and Legette scored
two touchdowns apiece in
that contest.
After suffering a 30
point loss to Greensboro
Dudley in the season open
er, the Yellowjackets have
taken giant strides in estab
lishing a team identity that
seems to be a good fit for
their personnel.

Unbeaten West Forsyth Titans
handle Spartans for win No. 7
BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE
FOR THE CHRONICLE
In a much-anticipated match-up of top contenders in junior varsity football, West
Forsyth continued its trek down victory lane. This time, the end result produced a work
manlike 21-6 road victory over Mount Tabor on last Thursday.
The Titans, now 7-0, were held far below their scoring average of 38.2 points per
game. In this case, it didn't matter because the defense had its best outing of the season.
West Forsyth kept Mount Tabor off the scoreboard until midway through the fourth quar
ter.
Coach Jared Eure of West Forsyth was elated with the outcome and applauded his
team's execution on both sides of the football. Even so, he declined to agree that his
defense came up with its best performance this fall.
For the game, the Titans had four quarterback sacks (three by Alexander Garrett) and
two interceptions (Davis Bishop and KeAndre Buyna).
"Was it our best? I'm not sure," said Eure about a defensive unit that gave up an aver
age of 23.2 points over the first six games of the season. "Up until late in the game, we

In most instances, rivalry games
tend to bring out the best in teams.
Such was the case for East Forsyth in
its 49-30 win over Glenn last week.
The Eagles soared from the very
start and finished with 350 total
offensive yards and a season-high
for noints scored in a single namp
It didn't take long for this annual "Battle of Kernersville" to turn into a one-sided
affair. East Forsyth bolted out of the starting blocks to build a 21-6 halftime lead and
never looked back.
"I'd say we had a thorough night on both sides of the ball," said Coach Ronnie Horton
of East Forsyth, whose team is 5-2 overall and 2-0 in the Piedmont Triad 4-A
