GTCC Falls to Forsyth Tech Despite Strong Perimeter Shooting Effort

Guilford Technical Community College put together a balanced scoring effort, but a hot-shooting Forsyth Tech squad proved too much as the Titans fell 91–69. GTCC connected on eight three-pointers and shot 76% from the free-throw line, but Forsyth Tech countered with a highly efficient offensive performance, shooting 60% from the field and assisting on 30 of their 39 made baskets.

Freshman guard Nikel Rodgers led GTCC with 16 points, knocking down four threes to pace the Titans’ perimeter attack. Mike Cade added 10 points and four assists, while Mike Webster finished with 9 points, three assists, and three steals, giving GTCC a spark on both ends of the floor. Jordan Weaver chipped in 7 points and a team-high six rebounds, and Osiris Peralta controlled the glass with 8 rebounds to go along with 5 points. Off the bench, Marcus Robertson (7 points) and Tyren Martin (8 points) provided a lift.

Forsyth Tech was led by Kyri Wilson’s 19 points, 11 assists, and 6 rebounds, turning in a standout all-around effort. Darnerian Gibson added 15 points, while Ian Bush scored 9 points and grabbed 6 rebounds off the bench as Forsyth Tech used depth and ball movement to create separation.

GTCC finishes the night shooting 39.6% from the field and 42.1% from three, but Forsyth Tech’s inside scoring and rebounding advantage (37–26) helped secure the result.

The Titans now look to regroup as they return to conference play, building on strong guard play and perimeter shooting as they continue through the season.
