Alumni and residents bask in East Forsyth High spotlight BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE It has been more than 20 years since the Eagles of East Forsyth won a NCH SAA 4-A varsity football title, but many alumni and residents around the city believe this will be the year the Eagles return to foot ball glory. After a dominating 31 6 win over cross-town rival West Forsyth in the quar terfinals last Friday, the Eagles (14-0) are just two wins away from reaching their goal of a state champi onship and one win away from matching the record of the 1992 East Forsyth squad that posted an unblemished 15-0 record and won the 4-A state title. "This year's team does it all." -Norman James, a long time resident of East Winston. The '92 team was also ranked 15th in the USA Today super 25 poll. According to CarolinaPreps.com, a site that ranks the top football programs, the Eagles are ranked first in the entire state. Throughout the entire season, members of the East Winston community have compared this year's team to the '92 team. Many believe this year's team is more balanced on both sides of the ball. "This .year's team does it all," said Norman James, a long time resident of East Winston. "They can run it, throw it, and they're strong on defense. "I've seen them play multiple times this year and I honestly believe they are better than the '92 team." Although it's hard to compare two teams that played nearly 25 years apart, but that doesn't stop people at barbershops and other places from keeping the argument going. Anthony Watson watched every game the Eagles played in '92 and a number of games this sea son. He said the '92 team was better because they were more disciplined. "This year's team gets a number of penalties at bad times during the game," he said. "I think that is what made the '92 team great. They were fundamentally sound and rarely picked up penalties." No matter which team people think is better, everyone agrees they are excited to see the team return to the top of the state football ranks. "Having the top-ranked program in the state is a major accomplishment, not just for the school but for community as well," said Watson. "Now the entire state is on notice that there is some real talent in this city."
