2025 Forsyth County Middle School Football Schedule Released
The 2025 Forsyth County middle school football season is officially here! This year’s schedule is packed with exciting matchups, including a Week 1 championship rematch, division showdowns, and key playoff previews. Mark your calendars for an action-packed fall filled with spirited competition and rising stars.
A New Season, New Opportunities
Forsyth County middle school football features only 7th and 8th graders, meaning every year brings significant roster turnover as players graduate to high school and new athletes step up. With such a fast-changing roster landscape, each season truly starts fresh—and any team can emerge as a contender.
Adding to the intensity, only four teams make the playoffs each year, making the race for those spots extremely competitive. Last year’s example: Little Mill ended a long playoff drought by making a strong postseason push, proving how quickly fortunes can change.
With new talent, fresh rivalries, and high stakes, the 2025 season promises plenty of surprises and fierce battles for playoff positioning.
