H.S. FOOTBALL: Forestburg wallops Gold-Burg

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.
