Injuries are part of playing football, but West Forsyth senior Cam Dobson has fallen on some hard luck. Dobson, a defensive back, hurt his left knee this past summer at team camp at Wingate, then came back and hurt it again in the fifth game against Richmond Senior. And because of that, he has mostly been on the sideline rooting on his team. He will be doing just that on Friday when No. 4 West Forsyth (8-2) will play host to No. 5 Charlotte Myers Park (8-3) in the second round on Friday at Jerry Peoples Stadium. Dobson said he has not had an MRI, but he says he has a sprained MCL. “I just came back to school. It still was there. The same thing was happening for three, maybe four weeks,” Dobson said of injuring it at Wingate. Despite the injury, he was well enough to play in the season-opening game this season at home against Davie County. “The Davie game, it felt fine,” Dobson said.
