AREA FOOTBALL: Moore scores game-winning TD for ’Horns
Forestburg needed its high-octane offense to defeat Denton Calvary on the road this past Friday by a score of 80-75.
Overall, the Longhorns accumulated 629 yards, including 361 yards rushing. Forestburg had a 19-15 edge in first downs and a convincing 268-12 margin in passing yards.
The game ebbed and flowed throughout. Forestburg, at one point, had a 44-30 lead in the second quarter only to see Denton Calvary take a one-point lead at intermission.
In the second half, Denton Calvary was up as many as nine points, 61-52, while the Longhorns reclaimed the lead at 74-67.
Denton Calvary went ahead 75-74 with 1:52 left on Casey Skaggs’ two-yard touchdown pass to Keishun Cuchens, before Malaci Moore sealed the win for the Longhorns with a six-yard TD run with 11 seconds to go on a dive play.
Forestburg head coach Wayne Tuckwell remembered being involved in a similar game while coaching at Vernon Northside as Northside defeated Amarillo Bible Heritage 104-96 one season.
“It was a crazy game, that’s for sure,” Tuckwell said. Read more on how Forestburg and Saint Jo did last Friday by reading The Bowie News in print and online.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
