North Forsyth capitalized on their opportunities Friday night as the Raiders swept North Gwinnett 8-5 and 7-2 to win their first playoff series since 2006. The Raiders (19-9) have had pro-level talent, region championships and nearly-perfect records, yet they never seemed to be able to put it all together in playoffs in recent years. The last time North won a playoff series was a sweep of Mays when the Raiders played in Class AAAA. When North hosted North Gwinnett on Friday, it did not have its best record, best talent or a region championship.
