South Forsyth’s boys basketball team topped Alpharetta 59-47 on Feb. 16, according to MaxPreps, which lists the Feb. 16 matchup as a neutral non-conference game in Cumming, GA scheduled for 8:30 p.m. MaxPreps’ game page for that matchup is noted to include scoring by quarter, statistics and video.

The victory on Feb. 16 followed an earlier meeting this month. CoachT and SI both report South Forsyth beat Alpharetta 54-46 on Feb. 6, and the NFHS Network carries a titled video asset for the Feb. 6 game - "South Forsyth vs Alpharetta - Boys Varsity Basketball 02/06/2026" - behind its subscription service. Those sources together show the War Eagles recording two separate wins over the Raiders in February.

South Forsyth’s local schedule on CoachT shows additional results around that stretch: a 71-58 road win at North Forsyth on Feb. 3 and a 61-82 loss to Lambert at home on Feb. 10. SI’s schedule excerpts also list a South Forsyth 75-45 win over Denmark and multiple Forsyth County matchups involving Lambert, North Atlanta, West Forsyth and North Forsyth; the items appear on the same regional schedule pages that carry the Alpharetta lines.

Standings snapshots from CoachT and SI disagree in the supplied material. CoachT’s table shows South Forsyth at 6-3 with a 14-8 overall record, and Lambert leading at 8-1 with a 17-4 overall mark. SI’s standings list Lambert at 13-1 and 19-6 overall, and South Forsyth at 9-6 with a 16-10 overall record. Because the two snapshots conflict numerically, official league or school records will be needed to reconcile current conference and overall records.

Box scores and individual stat lines were not provided in the excerpts available for this report. MaxPreps is cited as hosting scoring-by-quarter and full statistics for the Feb. 16 game, while NFHS Network offers the Feb. 6 full-game video; neither source’s excerpted material included leading scorers, rebound totals, assists or minute breakdowns in the supplied text. Coach and player comments were also not included in the material gathered here.

Forsythnews’ site inventory includes an item labeled "02182026REGION BASKETBALL," which aligns with region tournament activity in mid-February and places these late-February games inside the high school postseason window for the county. For readers seeking recaps, the MaxPreps game page and the NFHS Network video asset are the primary outlets cited for game detail and footage; official box scores and current conference standings can be obtained from the South Forsyth and Alpharetta athletic departments or the region office for final verification.
