H.S. FOOTBALL: Forestburg wallops Gold-Burg

Published

Last year, Forestburg’s football team was in the position Gold-Burg is currently facing: A numbers crunch.

The Bears are down seven healthy players, and they simply couldn’t keep up with the Longhorns as Forestburg whitewashed Gold-Burg 72-0 during Homecoming.

“We were there,” Forestburg head coach Wayne Tuckwell said. “It’s tough, and they have good athletes. Gold-Burg never gave up, and they have players to work with. It’s just a tough position for them to be in.”

It didn’t take long for Forestburg to establish control as Taten Vann took the opening kickoff on a 45-yard TD return and then the Longhorns recovered the subsequent onside kick.

On the next play, Matthew Wallace connected with Malaci Moore on a 33-yard TD pass. Moore later scored on a 70-yard run.

The Longhorns (5-2, 1-0 12-1A-II) were up 14-0 just 25 seconds into the contest.

The Bears (2-6, 0-1) had chances to keep closer.

“We had a couple of opportunities to get into the end zone,” Gold-Burg head coach Jay Johnson said. “But, we just couldn’t get there. I saw our kids make good plays.”

However, Johnson noted the Bears couldn’t string successful plays together, despite crossing into Longhorn territory three times.

By the end of the first quarter, Forestburg was up 50-0. Wallace added an interception return and J.D. Moore rushed for 52 yards on the Longhorns’ final scoring series.

Senior wide receiver Bryan McDowell was named Homecoming King, and he scored on a TD pass from Wallace. Kendall Wallace was selected as the Homecoming Queen.

Forestburg hadn’t played since an Oct. 3 victory over Montague County rival Saint Jo.

Next Friday, Gold-Burg has the daunting task of playing at perennial powerhouse Throckmorton while Forestburg plays at Woodson as the district slate moves into the second week.

Langford coming back home

Nocona is welcoming back Coach Sandy Langford, former coach and alumnus for the Lady Indians, as its new volleyball head coach.
Langford comes back to Nocona after spending the past 11 years leading the Glen Rose volleyball program.
Her circumstances with her family allowed her to jump at the opportunity once she became aware the position at Nocona was available.
“My youngest graduated and is playing football at Midwestern (State University),” Langford said. “All of our family is here and I knew that Coach Kara (Lucherk) was leaving. We were eventually going to retire here. Our oldest son plays college football at West Texas A&M and we’ll be two hours closer to him as well.”
She again will lead the Lady Indians volleyball program, one that she led all the way to the state title game in 2011, which is the farthest the volleyball program has ever gone in its prestigious history.
Langford kept up that level of success during her 11 years at the bigger 4A Glen Rose. She won less than 20 games only twice during her time, winning her 500th career game back in 2023. Her teams were ranked among the top 10 in the state five times and Langford led Glen Rose to the state tournament in 2017, the best finish in program history.
With the Lady Indians also having its own string of success, appearing in back-to-back regional finals while finishing atop the district standings both years, Langford is excited to not just keep the success going, but shoot for the stars.
“We are not expecting anything less than a state championship,” Langford said.
She has stacked the non-district schedule with strong, state-ranked 3A and 4A teams as well as big tournaments that will test Nocona’s mettle early next season in the hopes it will prepare them for a long playoff run.
