Forestburg took final preparations for the regular season Thursday as it played Bryson in a scrimmage at home.
“We were going up against a good team; I was a little apprehensive at first,” said Longhorns head coach Wayne Tuckwell. “But they were out there ready to play. I was pleased with the intensity and overall effort.”
The varsity group played 20 offensive and defensive plays in the first set, which they were victorious in.
The junior varsity next played 15 offensive and defensive plays. The two teams tied this set.
The scrimmage concluded with a live quarter, and Bryson took the victory. However, the quarter between the Cowboys and Longhorns was highly competitive.
Tuckwell said he wants to run a split backfield, tight formation and spread offensively, and he liked what he saw out of the spread offense.
“The spread was very successful,” he said. “I was more interested in seeing how the other two formations would work, but I’m confident that we can run any of them.” Read more in the weekend edition of The Bowie News.
