| Titan center Kyle Boardman scores against the Reynolds Demons. |
But for the West Forsyth boys varsity basketball team, they were wrapped with disappointment in last Friday’s matchup against Reynolds.
Playing in their first Central Piedmont Conference game of the season, the Titans owned a one-point lead at the end of the first quarter and were even with the hosting Demons midway through the third.
But RJR’s Mark Stevenson came alive down the stretch and provided the offensive spark that enabled the Demons to secure a 81-67 victory. Stevenson finished with 31 points (including 25 in the second half) as the Demons moved to 2-0 in CPC play.
“This was an unusual game in terms of statistics,” mentioned West head coach David Laton. “Our numbers were very solid. But give Reynolds credit — they got hot down the stretch.”
Kyle Boardman paced West with 22 points. Justin Johnson also played well and finished with 16. Allen Jones added 15.
West, 4-4 overall, will play North Davidson on Tuesday and at Winston-Salem Prep on Thursday.
