Furies capture NCISAA 3-A baseball title
Forsyth Country Day’s baseball team began the season with a
loaded deck. The Furies, who finished as runnerups in last year’s NCISSA 3-A
championship, were the fav
orites
to take home the crown in 2011. FCD did just that two weeks ago, defeating
Charlotte Country Day in a two-game series. However, the Furies had to overcome
a rash of injuries to take the crown.
Early in the season it appeared the Furies would never be at full strength. From
the outset they were beset with injuries. That trend continued until the final
games of the season. The Furies lost outfielder and Univ. of South Carolina signee
Seth Constable to a broken leg during their

From The Editor
Sam Davis - Publisher and
Founder
I would like to apologize to the
players, coaches and parents of Glenn High’s softball team for a mistake that
was brought to my attention when I attended last Friday’s game between East
Forsyth and Glenn. It was a mistake that should never be made in journalism. A
newspaper’s credibility is important and I trusted some information that I
came across without double checking its accuracy. 
It is a mistake that I have made in one other instance since I have been in the field of journalism. In last week’s edition of Triad Sports Weekly I printed a picture with a story about East Forsyth’s softball team. The picture was taken from East Forsyth’s softball website. Because of the lack of resources, I often refer to websites for information. The caption under the picture stated that East Forsyth won the Forsyth County softball championship. They did, however that was last year.
The photo was of last year’s team enjoying its championship. So, I must also apologize for the softball team at East Forsyth as well. I hope that it doesn’t take away from the accomplishments that you have reached during the 2010 season.
I would also like to clear the air on some related matters. Triad Sports Weekly is pretty much a one-man operation. Mistakes will be made from time to time. I try to make every effort to print accurate up-to-date information each week. It is a huge task. I need the help of athletic directors, coaches, parents and players to make sure that I can produce a quality product each week.
In the coming weeks I will be charged with the task of naming All-County Teams in girls soccer, baseball, softball, boys and girls lacrosse, boys tennis and boys golf. Without the help of the coaches it will be impossible. Coaches will receive their ballots in the upcoming week. I hope that they will respond by sending in their nominations in a timely manner. When coaches don’t respond in a timely manner, it causes extra stress on me in producing a good product. I understand how busy teachers are in trying to prepare their students for end of course tests and also coaching their respective teams. However, I need their support to put out a quality product.
