The football team gave a valiant effort in its 34-23 loss to the Peachtree Ridge Lions last Friday night. The heavily favored Lions defended their home field, but the boys from North Forsyth made them work hard for it. North Forsyth led 17-7 in the second quarter prior to giving up 14 unanswered points before the half. A third-quarter touchdown by the Lions made it 28-17 in Peachtree Ridge’s favor. Instead of giving up, the Raiders bristled and recovered a fumble, returning it to the 3-yard line. Jory Walsh’s subsequent run put the Raiders in the end zone to keep the game closer than expected at 28-23. Peachtree Ridge would end the game with a win, but North Forsyth will attempt to build on an overachieving performance when they welcome Collins Hill Friday night for homecoming. … The Lady Raiders softball team lost region matches to both Duluth (8-0) and Chattahoochee (7-6) last week.
