| Members of the West varsity football team line up against North Forsyth during a workout at West. |
Rained out of their only chance to participate in a full scrimmage last Saturday morning at North Forsyth, the Titans will get their first live action experience at home in this Friday’s endowment game against the Parkland Mustangs. Parkland, on the other hand, will enter the game a bit more battle tested. They scrimmaged Greensboro Dudley last week.
“Missing the chance to scrimmage hurts and as a result, we’re probably going in at a slight disadvantage,” mentioned Titan head coach Chip Petree. “But our guys have been waiting a long time for this so I’m sure they will be ready to go.
“Parkland has a great team with two exceptional offensive players in quarterback Brian George (a four-year starter) and tailback Shawn Porter (a former Titan standout). But our kids are pretty good too.”
West is hoping to avoid a repeat of last year’s season-opening matchup with the Mustangs, a game that Parkland won by a score of 41-8.
Game time is 7:30 p.m.
