The team is set to host Cleveland Community College this Wednesday.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – It has been a strong beginning for the Forsyth Technical Community College Men's Basketball program. In their very first season, the Trailblazers have quickly found their footing, achieving a promising 10-1 overall record. This strong start demonstrates the program's early potential and the hard work of the student-athletes.
The team's efforts have not gone unnoticed, as the Trailblazers recently received votes in the NJCAA Division II Men's Basketball Top 25 Poll. It is a positive sign for the young program to be garnering national attention so early in its history. The 10-1 record includes a commendable 7-0 record at home and a solid 5-1 record in conference play. The players are demonstrating strong teamwork and a commitment to playing an exciting, high-effort brand of basketball.
The Forsyth Tech Men's Basketball team (10-1) welcomes Cleveland Community College (6-4) on Thursday, December 11. This first-ever meeting comes as the Trailblazers return home following a 106-86 win over Pfeiffer University DT. Tip time is 7:00 PM at the Forsyth Tech West Campus (1300 Bolton St).
