AREA FOOTBALL: Longhorns take on Greyhounds

Forestburg is an up-and-coming program in 6-man Division II football, starting that journey during the 2007 campaign.
Throckmorton has been powerhouse at both the 6-man and traditional 11-man level for years here in North Texas.
This Friday at Longhorn Field, Forestburg plays host to Throckmorton with the District 12-1A-II title on the line. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.
Forestburg is coming off a hard-fought 58-57 victory over Woodson this past Friday.
“We didn’t play our best game, but we got a win,” Forestburg head coach Wayne Tuckwell said. “It’s come down to playing for a district championship for us. I thought we could do this. We have worked hard to get to this point.”
Tuckwell said there is high excitement at the school and in this small hamlet in southeastern Montague County. The Greyhounds will run a dazzling Jaybird offense and multiple defenses.
“They will line up in a four-man front, three-man front or two-man front,” Tuckwell said. “The challenge is going to figure out what plays we can run with what defense.”
Tuckwell said everyone on Throckmorton’s squad is a playmaker. Read more in the mid-week Bowie News.
