On Thursday, Phenom Hoops traveled to West Stokes in King, North Carolina, as the Wildcats prepared to host the Vikings of North Forsyth in the second round of the 2A NCHSAA playoffs. These squads met twice in the regular season, where West Stokes took both contests by a narrow three-point margin (including an overtime battle). Needless to say, North Forsyth was looking to rewrite the script and earn their way into the third round.
The contest opened up in favor of West Stokes, as they quickly established the lead behind Kelin Parsons and the red-hot perimeter shooting from Elan Muniz. However, North Forsyth remained resilient and continually fought to stay within fighting distance. Freshman Lewis Walker was clearly their most consistent force
