A huge game from quarterback Bryce Baker and outstanding defense led the visiting East Forsyth varsity football team to a 49-14 win over AC Reynolds on Friday night.

Our defensive backfield is real young, but it has gotten a lot better, and our defensive back coaches have done a great job getting our guys ready.”

Baker, who is committed to play for UNC, completed 29-of 38 passes for a career high 482 yards. He threw five touchdowns and ran for one touchdown. JP Gilchrist caught eight passes for 158 yards and…
