The Forestburg High School football team stayed stride for stride with Chillicothe for nearly four quarters in Friday’s Conference 1A Division II bi-district playoff game at Archer City.
Longhorn freshman quarterback Matthew Wallace scored on a 19-yard touchdown run with 2 minutes, 23 seconds in the fourth quarter – trimming Chillicothe’s lead to 44-41.
But, on 2nd-down-and-10 from Forestburg’s 33-yard line, Chillicothe’s Denzel Graves eluded a couple of would-be Longhorn tacklers en route to a TD.
That gave the Eagles the cushion they needed and Forestburg bowed out of the postseason with a 58-41 loss to Chillicothe.
Chillicothe improved to 7-4 on the season, advancing to the regional round for a game with Guthrie on Nov. 21 against Knox City. Forestburg finished the 2014 campaign with a mark of 6-4.
“The boys played hard tonight,” Forestburg head coach Wayne Tuckwell said.
Tuckwell thought injuries wore down the Longhorns as the game advanced. “Forestburg played us well,” Chillicothe head coach Clint Miller said. “I didn’t think we played well for the first 2-1/2 quarters. Forestburg was able to build a lead with all of our turnovers. We were fortunate to be behind (by only 22 points). We played with a sense of urgency in the second half.”
Miller said the Eagles blocked and tackled better as the game went along, and that helped them win.
Middle linebacker Malaci Moore missed several stretches of the game due to cramps in his right calf. Stretching and pickle juice were tried as remedies, but Moore wasn’t quite as effective as before the cramps started.
Bryan McDowell is the lone senior on the Forestburg roster. McDowell played superbly in his final scholastic grid contest, catching two 24-yard TD passes from Wallace. Read more in the mid-week Bowie News, and see a complete a box score and scoring summary.
