West Forsyth gave Grimsley all they could handle before Freshman QB Brody Lowe took over in the 4th quarter last year.
One Year Later, This 2026 game has two fantastic Sophomore QB’s as West Forsyth has developed Levi Morales into a passing game weapon they haven’t had in quite sometime. Usually, a run oriented team; West Forsyth is different this year and they have major weapons at the skilled positions.
The West passing game features the best trio of WR’s in the state and I’ll die on that hill…. These 3 guys are all headed to college; make that 4 guys as the TE was just offered. Starts with Speedster 5’10 Braylen Marrow is headed to NCCU, then 6’4 200lb Junior WR Tylan Grimes can go where ever he wants with double digit offers and high interest from NC State and Joker Phillips, finish off with Senior 6’1 speedster Jailyn Moore(Had 4 TD’s vs Davie) has multiple offers including high interest from NC State and Joker Philips. Throw in big 6’2 220lb TE Cooper Chambers who just got his first offer by UNCC and you have a serious passing attack. QB Levi Morales completed 24 of 32 passes for 326yds and still had 5 dropped passes. He is very accurate and seems very poised in the pocket.
The West running game isn’t gone, it’s led by the big guy who was around 100yds vs Davie, Zayden Hairston will be the power RB that should wear down teams in the 4th quarter.
Now, Grimsley is going to bring pressure on a totally different level than Davie County….West knows this and the young QB will have to negotiate the pocket. The OLine is going to see a much better defensive front.
The West “Defense” strength is their secondary but they had two long TD’s scored on them(both by Noah Dulin a D-1 prospect with multiple offers) because of assignment issues. I expect that to be fixed with Joziah Nicholson(Missouri), Daniel Bunker(Citadel) and Braylen Marrow(NCCU) patrolling the secondary against Grimsley. They know what happened last year with Brody Lowe torching the West secondary In the 4th quarter.
Grimsley is just a great program built by Coach Brown, there is no weakness again. I could probably write a book on their talented team.
Hopefully, it’s a close game like last year. Grimsley will be the favorite but West Forsyth can hang and they know that.
Remember, it was West Forsyth who gave Hough their closest game in the entire State Playoffs last year losing in the Final 4 of the western playoffs.
