2025 FB Week 6

2025 Forsyth County Middle School Football Week 6

Week 1 was originally slated to feature non-divisional matchups, giving teams a chance to test themselves outside of their own division right out of the gate. But when severe weather rolled through Forsyth County, every game was wiped off the schedule, leaving players, coaches, and fans without an early-season measuring stick. Instead, the season jumped straight into four weeks of divisional battles that locked in the playoff field far earlier than expected.

Now, with those races decided, Week 6 and Week 7 finally bring the first — and only — stretch of non-divisional action this season. For teams that missed out on the playoffs, these games are all about pride and finishing strong against fresh opponents. Meanwhile, the playoff-bound squads view this two-week window as a tune-up opportunity, a chance to iron out mistakes, build momentum, and enter the postseason sharper than ever.

Vickery Creek, which clinched the No. 1 seed in the West, will not be in action this week as they head into their bye. The Vipers get a timely break to celebrate that accomplishment while turning their focus toward preparing for a playoff run.

After this week, schools head into fall break, meaning no games will be played next week. This pause serves as an extra bye week for all teams, giving players and coaches valuable time to rest, recover, and fine-tune their strategies before the regular season resumes.

Matchups

South Forsyth @ Hendricks (Hendricks MS - 5:30 PM)

Fans should note the changes for this matchup as the date, time, and location have been adjusted from those previously scheduled. These two teams met in Week 6 last season, with South Forsyth cruising to a 25-7 victory over Hendricks.

This season, the Eagles are coming off a bye week but have already clinched their playoff spot, giving them a chance to stay fresh and focused as they head toward the postseason. Hendricks, meanwhile, has struggled through the 2025 campaign, falling to 0-4 after last week’s loss to Otwell. The teams are moving in opposite directions this season: South Forsyth riding high into the playoffs, while Hendricks looks to rebound and gain some momentum in a difficult year.

Little Mill @ DeSana (Denmark HS - 6:30 PM)

These two teams squared off in Week 6 last season, when DeSana pulled off one of the biggest surprises of the year by edging the Mustangs 22-20 in a back-and-forth battle. This time around, the circumstances are flipped.

The Dragons are coming off a playoff-clinching victory over Lakeside, while Little Mill fell to rival North Forsyth last week to end their bid for a repeat playoff appearance. DeSana will use this matchup as a chance to stay sharp heading into the postseason, while the Mustangs look to gain a measure of revenge for last year’s defeat and finish their season on a stronger note.

Liberty @ Lakeside (South Forsyth HS - 6:30 PM)

Another rematch of a Week 6 game from last season sees Liberty visiting Lakeside. At this time last year, both teams were riding high and still in the hunt for playoff spots, with Lakeside coming out on top by two touchdowns, 34-22.

The roles are reversed in 2025, as both squads have already been eliminated from postseason contention. Liberty fell last week to the West’s No. 1 seed, Vickery Creek, while Lakeside dropped a tough East matchup to DeSana. This Week 6 non-divisional game gives both teams a chance to finish the season on a high note and gain momentum heading into next year.

Piney Grove @ Otwell (Forsyth Central HS - 6:30 PM)

These two teams did not meet in 2024, making this Week 6 matchup a fresh contest for both squads. After struggling through the early part of the season, both the Grizzlies and Bulldogs finally earned their first victories in Week 5.

Piney Grove edged Riverwatch 24-20, while Otwell rolled past Hendricks 56-22. With postseason hopes off the table, both Piney Grove and Otwell aim to cap the season with a strong performance and build confidence moving forward.

North Forsyth @ Riverwatch (Lambert HS - 6:30 PM)

These programs did not face off last season. The Wildcats clinched the No. 2 seed in the West with last week’s rivalry win over Little Mill, ensuring a return trip to the postseason as they look to defend their 2024 county championship.

Riverwatch, on the other hand, saw its playoff opportunity slip away after a narrow 24-20 loss to Piney Grove in Week 5, a defeat that officially knocked the Panthers out of contention. With North Forsyth gearing up for another playoff run and Riverwatch aiming to finish strong, the two teams enter Week 6 with very different motivations.

Football weather looks close to perfect for Tuesday night’s games. Temperatures will sit right around 80 degrees at kickoff (5:30–6:30 PM), feeling just a touch warmer at 82 degrees with a light northwest breeze around 6 mph.
