JV FOOTBALL
Undefeated
Titans face ultimate
test in season finale
BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE
PGR THE CHRONICLE
Looking back on the 2015 JV football
season, it's fitting that the two best teams
will meet in the final week to determine
who's the best. West Forsyth hits the road
to play North Davidson tonight, in a game
that has some interesting story lines. Kick
off is set for 6 o'clock.
The Titans (9-0) have yet to lose this
season. A victory would guarantee a per
fect season and a first-place finish in the
Central Piedmont 4-A
Conference.
North Davidson (8-1)
will give West Forsyth all it
can handle. After suffering a
gut-wrenching loss in the
season opener (13-12 to High
Point Central), the Black
Knights have won eight
straight. Both teams are 1
unbeaten in the CPC, so '
tonight s winner will emerge
as the league's mythical JV conference
champ. .
Aside from that, North Davidson has
added incentive to spoil West Forsyth's
quest to go 10-0.
On paper, these teams appear to be
evenly matched. North Davidson could
rate as a slight favorite, but only because of

POR THE CHRONICLE
Murphy's Law was in full effect in Carver's eyebrow
raising loss to West Stokes in JV football last week.
Literally and figuratively, every conceivable thing that
could go wrong, did go wrong.
"All night, we faced so much adversity," said Coach
Alonzo Winfield of Carver. "There wasn't a whole lot
that went right for us. But on the other hand, our people
continued to play hard in spite of all the things that didn't
go in their favor. I'm proud of the way they handled
themselves."
It was bad enough that the Yellowjackets had their
worst performance of the season in a 35-6 loss on their
home turf. Five key contributors had to watch from the
sidelines because of injuries. Carver never resembled the
team that had a five-game win streak going.
Both teams entered the game tied for first place in the
Western Piedmont 2-A Conference standings. With one
game left on the schedule, the best that Carver (6-2,3-1
WPC) can hope for is a second-place finish.
Aside from injuries to key personnel, the
Yellowjackets appeared sluggish. Carver started last
week with a 30-0 road win over North Forsyth in a
Monday night game that was rescheduled because of

BASKETBALL
Pitts 'excited about the possibilities' in basketball for QEA
BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE
FOR THE CHRONICLE
Isaac Pitts isn't making
any guarantees about
Quality Education
Academy winning a
national championship.
Yet, there's an undeniable
tone of eager anticipation
in the coach's voice as he
discusses the upcoming
basketball season.
The Pharaohs open
shop against Moravian
Prep on their home court
on Friday night (Nov. 6, 7
o'clock tip-off).
"We've worked hard (in
the pre-season) and I'm
very pleased with what I
see," said Pitts, who begins
his eighth season at QEA.
"All the pieces are in place,
and I'm excited about the
possibilities. It's not a
stretch to say that for this
group, the sky is the limit."
Pitts bases his assess
ment on a comparison with
his teams that won three
straight National Christian
Schools Athletic
Association championships
in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
"They can be just as good,"
he said. "We have 10 play
ers on this year's team who
are viewed as high-level,
major-college prospects."
DeShawn Corprew, a
four-star college recruit, is
the headliner among a trio
of returning seniors.
Corprew, a 6-foot-5 shoot
ing guard, dramatically
increased his stock over the
summer. He delivered ster
