2025 Forsyth County Middle School Football Semifinals

The Forsyth County Middle School football semifinals kick off Tuesday, October 14th, featuring a mix of returning contenders and rising programs ready to make their mark.

Two teams that reached the postseason a year ago — North Forsyth and South Forsyth — are back again, while DeSana and Vickery Creek have earned their first playoff berths in recent years, rounding out a competitive final four.

In one semifinal, North Forsyth will travel to face South Forsyth at South Forsyth High School. The two perennial powers have built one of the county’s most competitive rivalries, and this matchup should deliver another physical, high-stakes battle with a trip to the championship on the line.

Over at Forsyth Central High School, DeSana and Vickery Creek will meet for the first time this season in the other semifinal. Both teams have put together impressive campaigns to reach this stage, though each enters the postseason looking to bounce back after a loss in their regular-season finales.

This year’s semifinal field perfectly balances experience and fresh opportunity — with North Forsyth and South Forsyth seeking another shot at a title, and DeSana and Vickery Creek eager to prove their seasons were no fluke.

The winners will advance to the 2025 Forsyth County Middle School Football Championship next week.

Semifinal #1

Date: Tuesday, October 14 | Location: South Forsyth HS | Kickoff: 6:30 PM

SEASON RECAP

Preview

It doesn’t get much bigger than this. The defending Forsyth County champions, North Forsyth, head south to take on undefeated South Forsyth in a rematch of last year’s unforgettable semifinal — a game that saw the Wildcats rally from a 24-point first-half deficit to stun the Eagles, 30–24, on their way to the title. A year later, both teams find themselves back in familiar territory: among the county’s elite, with a championship berth on the line.

South Forsyth has been nothing short of dominant this season. The Eagles enter the playoffs as the only undefeated team in Forsyth County, outscoring their opponents 228–39 and winning every game by at least 24 points. Their balanced attack and suffocating defense have made them the team to beat, and they’ll have home-field advantage as the #1 seed from the East Division.

Meanwhile, North Forsyth continues to prove why it’s one of the most consistent programs in the county. The Wildcats — the #2 seed from the West Division — have now made the semifinals in back-to-back seasons and are riding the momentum of another strong campaign. After winning 13 of their last 14 games dating back to Week 2 of 2024, North Forsyth enters this matchup battle-tested and confident.

This semifinal has everything fans could want: two tradition-rich programs, last year’s dramatic history, and this season’s most dominant team taking on the reigning champs. For South Forsyth, it’s a chance at redemption and a long-awaited return to the championship stage. For North Forsyth, it’s the opportunity to prove that last year’s comeback wasn’t a fluke — and that the Wildcats still own the county’s biggest stage.

Expect a packed house and playoff atmosphere at South Forsyth High School when these two powerhouses square off on Tuesday night. One will punch its ticket back to the championship. The other will see another promising season come to an end.

Semifinal #2

Date: Tuesday, October 14 | Location: Forsyth Central HS | Kickoff: 6:30 PM

SEASON RECAP

Preview

Tuesday night’s semifinal clash between DeSana and Vickery Creek features two of the county’s biggest turnaround stories. Both programs endured frustrating seasons in 2024 but have stormed back in 2025 with dominant performances and statement wins. The Dragons have relied on quick starts and balanced execution, jumping out to early leads in nearly every victory this season. Meanwhile, the Vipers have been defined by their relentless defense and their ability to close games strong — holding opponents scoreless in the second half in multiple wins.

The matchup also carries a bit of intrigue, as the two teams did not meet during the regular season, adding an element of unpredictability. Vickery Creek enters as the designated home team based on earning the #1 seed from the West Division, while DeSana comes in as the #2 seed from the East. The Dragons’ offensive rhythm and ability to strike early will test the Vipers’ disciplined defensive front, while Vickery Creek’s physicality and late-game composure could challenge a DeSana team that has rarely played from behind this year.

Both squads enter with just one loss and a chance to punch their ticket to the county championship game. With contrasting styles, renewed confidence, and a season’s worth of momentum behind them, Tuesday night at Forsyth Central High School should deliver a compelling and hard-fought semifinal matchup between two teams determined to complete their comeback stories.

Weather Forecast

For players, coaches, and fans heading out Tuesday night, the conditions could not be better for playoff football. Kickoff temperatures will sit comfortably around 78 degrees under sunny skies, with just a light northwest breeze around 4 mph. It’s the kind of crisp fall evening that makes football season special.

As the sun sets and the lights take over, the temperature will gradually dip into the low 70s by halftime and settle near 67 degrees by the end of the games. The air will stay dry, and the humidity will rise only slightly — keeping things comfortable for fans in the stands and ideal for players on the field.

With no clouds, no wind issues, and zero chance of rain, weather won’t be a factor in either semifinal. Instead, it’ll be all about execution, energy, and emotion as four teams battle for a shot at the county championship under perfect October skies.
