Early morning at West Forsyth
It was like the middle of summer this morning at 8 o’clock when I arrived at West Forsyth ahead of the arrival of most students — you could feel the rising sun heating up the empty parking lot when I climbed out of my car to meet Ric Thompson, a senior wide receiver, for a story I am writing for Thursday’s paper. I wanted to catch up with him before school started
But before I could sit down with Thompson, I was given the grand tour of West Forsyth’s new weight room and football locker room — a project that started last spring and is now complete, much to the pride of Adrian Snow, the Titans’ loquacious football coach.
For starters, the head football coach’s office at West Forsyth was originally about the size of a broom closet on steroids, and probably more cluttered. Now, it’s about three times bigger and with a shiny, new look, complete with a large glass window that affords almost a full view of the weight room.
The locker room is even more impressive. I will refrain from going over all the details — wouldn’t want to be accused of recruiting for Snow — but I would think that outside coaches who see it would be Titan-green with envy.
