It was a tough loss Friday night as the Falcons faced off with 18th ranked Rockwall. The outcome was not as hoped, as the Falcons turned the ball over 3 times and had several untimely penalties that just can’t happen when you play high quality teams.

The Forney Jackrabbits made the quick trip to Lancaster for their seventh game of the year against the #8 Ranked Lancaster Tigers last Friday night. Lancaster entered the game after hammering John Tyler the previous week, 55-6. The Jackrabbits entered the game coming off their first district loss against undefeated Longview. The Jackrabbits sought to get back on the right side of the win column while Lancaster was attempting to further cement their position as #2 in the district.

Coach Hardin’s Pirates came into this game sitting at third place in district with a record of 2-1. This was a highly contested matchup that did not disappoint! Crandall had not forgotten the rough first round defeat in the playoffs last year at the hands of the Leopards.

Crandall was on the road this week after a muchneeded break on their bye week. The Pirates came into this week 1-1 in district play, only behind Melissa and Lovejoy. They will need to win each game from here on out in order to stay within reach.

The Forney Jackrabbits made the nearly two-hour drive to Longview last Friday night for their sixth game of the year against the undefeated Lobos. Both teams entered the game after their respective bye weeks, but Longview appeared prepared for the Jackrabbits who had been cruising for the last four games. The Jackrabbits entered the game on a four-game winning streak after handling Lufkin at home before their bye week.
