So much so, he single-handedly outscored the evening’s opponent in Winterville Christ Covenant.
Forte connected on seven 3-pointers and had nine steals, on his way to a massive 62-point display as the Cyclones (2-2) owned a 15-point lead after one quarter and coasted to the 93-52 win in the 1-A/2-A Coastal Independents Conference opener for CCS in ENCSD’s Barney Williamson Gym.
Junior Christian McFarland had nine points and six steals, while Jeremiah Williams, a freshman tallied six points, four blocks and 19 rebounds.
