THE CHRONICLE ?
The first game of the year usually comes with some
nervousness and a few mental errors as the players knock
the rust off from the summer. Last Thursday, Glenn's JV
was able to overcome the rust and pull out a victory
against North Forsyth, 14 to 6.
Neither team was able to establish any sort of continu
ity on offense during the first half qf play. North was
unable to get out of its own way with botched center to
quarterback exchanges, missed assignments on the offen
sive line and key turnovers. Glenn was able to drive the
ball into North territory multiple times in the first half but
kept coming up empty. Glenn's defense was the most con
sistent group on the field all night.
Glenn Head coach Stephen Herring Jr. said it felt great
to "get the monkey off their back" by winning the first
game of the year.
"Our defense played huge tonight. If it wasn't for the
four turnovers and getting us good field position, who
knows it;s how things would have turned out. Its much
easier to score on a 40-yard drive than an 80 yard."

opened up the running game for Mekhi Fenner, who
scored twice, and others.
"Christen Wilson is one of our big time players, and

ing game for other receivers like Davieyon Allsbrook
Miller, who had a big night receiving for us as well as our
tight ends," Herring continued.
North Forsyth did not seem to get into any sort of
rhythm all night long. They had issues just snapping the
ball from under center and when they seemed to have
some momentum late in the first half, starting running
back Semaj Transou had to leave the game due to injury.
Following the injury to Transou, the Vikings were not able
to move the ball on the ground.
The first half of play ended with a 0-0 score. Glenn
came out early in the second half and seemed to wear
down the Vikings, who had many players going both ways
on offense and defense. The Bobcats were also able to
