H.S. FOOTBALL: Forestburg wallops Gold-Burg
By ERIC VICCARO
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.

Saint Jo hosted its own volleyball tournament Sept. 10-12.
In its first match, the Lady Panthers bested Sam Rayburn in a b est-of-three match 2-1 (25-11, 23-25, 25-14.) In the opener, senior Tatum Morman staked the Lady Panthers to a 4-0 lead with help from Kamron Skidmore and Olivia Johnson kills. The Lady Rebels would come back and tie the game at seven.
Savannah Hill’s kill broke serve and allowed Abby Carter to string together seven points. An ace and a Hill kill helped keep the drive alive. Hill later rolled off six points in a row, helped by two aces, to go up 23-10. Sam Rayburn broke serve but Saint Jo finished the game with a single Morman point.
Sam Rayburn came right out of the gate firing in the second game leading 4-0. A single Carter point, thrown down by a Hill block, and Hill’s four-point skein put the Lady Panthers up 8-6. Sam Rayburn tied the game at eight.

Forestburg’s volleyball team gave visiting Chico a solid test Sept. 8, but the Lady Dragons rebounded from a third-set loss to pull out the 3-1 win (25-23, 25-19, 25-27, 25-19).
The Lady Longhorns got out to a quick start with aces from freshmen Madi Wadsworth and Lacie Shotwell staking the squad to a 4-1 lead in game one. Wadsworth later broke a 4-all tie with a kill.
Addy Conway rolled off four straight points, helped by a Wadsworth kill to give Forestburg an 11-9 lead. Chico took a 16-14 lead but a Brenna Briles ace and Jocelyn Rich’s two points forced Chico into a timeout down 17-19.
The respite worked as it would be Forestburg’s last lead of game one, the Lady ‘Horns not having another serving point.

After splitting the first two games with Vernon Northside, Bowie’s volleyball team turned things out and wound with a 3-1 match win (25-17, 15-25, 25-17, 25-17).
Molly Enlow used two aces amidst a four-point string to give the Lady Rabbits a 5-1 lead in game one. Senior KP Rutherford’s pair of points extended the lead to 8-3.
Northside cut the deficit to 10-11 before Rutherford’s kill broke serve.
Bella Culwell’s point, aided by an Ellie Mowery kill, put Bowie up 13-10. Northside tied the game at 13 before Rutherford came through with another pair for a 17-14 lead. Lillie Maddox also had a deuce for a 20-15 lead and force a Lady INdian timeout.
Northside broke serve but a Sophie Maddox block and Lillie Maddox three-point string gave the squad game point at 24-16. The squads exchanged side outs to end the game.
