Grayson defeats South Forsyth 68-62 in GHSA state tournament, snaps 11-game streak

South Forsyth’s 11-game winning streak ended when Grayson High School defeated the War Eagles 68-62 in a GHSA AAAAAA state tournament matchup, halting a late-February run that had "elevated South Forsyth to one of the region’s top seeds."

The game took place Tuesday, March 3, 2026, listed in state tournament schedules as a GHSA AAAAAA contest. Available game listings record the 68-62 final, but they do not identify the arena, city of the site, or which round of the bracket the matchup represented.

South Forsyth entered the tournament on an extended streak. Game listings show the War Eagles beat Cherokee 54-48 on Friday, Feb. 27 to record what was listed as their 11th consecutive victory, and a Feb. 20 result lists a 62-57 win over North Forsyth. Earlier coverage in late February noted South Forsyth had pushed its streak to seven after wins through the middle of the month.

A CUMMING, Ga., roundup captured a season snapshot and higher expectations heading into the state tournament, listing South Forsyth as "South Forsyth (12-4, 5-0 Region 6-6A)" and saying the win "takes control of the Region 6-6A standings." That same account included a high-scoring performance from South Forsyth guard Carib Morris in a separate home game, noting, "Carib Morris scored 41 points, 13 in the fourth quarter, to help South Forsyth hold off North Forsyth, 71-65, at home on Friday." The roundup also broke down North Forsyth contributions in that contest: Gabbie Gliatta 19 points, Emma Grace Turner 14, Kendall Arnett 12 and Leah Bryan 11.

While the March 3 result is clear, detailed statistics for the Grayson game are not yet available in the public game logs examined. No official box score listing for South Forsyth vs Grayson appeared in the available game databases at the time of reporting, and neither the venue nor the game attendance was posted alongside the 68-62 final.

Regional coverage around the same time included other local results that illustrate the competitive landscape around Forsyth County. A regional roundup recorded Chestatee beating Dawson County 43-35 with Ali Jae Bull returning for 19 points, nine rebounds and nine steals; Buford topping Mill Creek 58-36 with Lydia Ledford scoring 17; and Jefferson routing Monroe Area 68-19 with Karlee Law contributing 18 points.

The loss to Grayson halted a run of late-season momentum for South Forsyth that, by multiple accounts, had pushed the program into top regional seeding conversations. Official confirmation of box scores, the tournament round and any bracket advancement for Grayson remain outstanding in posted game records.
