Week 2 could feature a classic battle of strengths as Little Mill’s offensive firepower takes on North Forsyth’s defensive prowess. The Mustangs turned heads across the county in Week 1, putting up an eye-popping 64 points against Vickery Creek. Seven players scored for Little Mill, led by Liam Brundidge’s 24 points. Remarkably, the Mustangs scored the bulk of their points with only two made free throws, totaling 44 points on two-point baskets and 18 on three-pointers.

North Forsyth, meanwhile, displayed a stifling defense in their 30-24 victory over Piney Grove, pressuring the Grizzlies all evening and holding them to just 30 points. Don’t discount Little Mill’s defense either, as they also held their Week 1 opponent to 30 points. This matchup will likely come down to whether the Wildcats can slow Little Mill’s high-flying offense while generating points of their own, and whether the Mustangs can carry their season-opening momentum into another dominant performance.

Lakeside (0-0) had a bye in Week 1, giving the Lions extra practice time to fine-tune their offense and rotations.

This matchup will be an early test for both teams as Hendricks looks to continue their strong start and Lakeside aims to find their rhythm in the season opener.

South Forsyth (1-0) opened the season with a defensive-minded 35-26 victory over Liberty. At halftime, the score was just 16-10 as both teams worked to find their footing in the season opener. The Eagles’ offense came alive in the third quarter but cooled off in the fourth.

Otwell (0-1) also struggled to generate points in their opener against Hendricks. The Bulldogs managed just six first-half points, forcing them to play catch-up throughout the game. They gained some momentum in the second half, scoring 19 points, but will need more consistent production to challenge South Forsyth. This Week 2 matchup presents an early test for both teams.
