HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Strawn tops Forestburg
Bear Osteen returned to the Forestburg lineup in Friday’s game at Strawn, and he scored a touchdown.
However, it wasn’t nearly enough as the Longhorns suffered another loss.
Forestburg is preparing for yet another road tilt – this time against private school Weatherford Christian.
Weatherford Christian primarily runs a tight offense, and on defense – it’s anyone’s guess. But, expect to see plenty of 2-2-2 or 2-3 looks.
WC had two weeks to prepare for Forestburg, which could give it the upper hand.
“They had two weeks to prepare for us, so we know that’s going to be a challenge,” Forestburg head coach Wayne Tuckwell said.
Forestburg has never beaten Weatherford Christian, although the game in Weatherford two years ago was quite competitive.
J.D. Moore went 22-of-30 passing for 155 yards and a TD reception to Osteen, who finished with 99 yards in receptions.
Gold-Burg vs. Denton Calvary
Gold-Burg head coach Jay Johnson reported the Bears will have eight players out for this week’s game at Denton Calvary.
The Bears (0-2) should be helped by having a least some semblance of depth.
Lakeland Christian topped Gold-Burg 46-0 in a game that was stopped in the third quarter on account of the mercy rule. The Bears were outgained, 392-131, and had a pair of fumbles. Coplin Miller caught three passes for 59 yards, and he had four tackles. Read more, and see scoring summaries, in the Sept. 7 Bowie News.

Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham. Athletic Director Black Crutsinger said they looked at a lot of press boxes and decided they liked the one at Lindsay High School and went with that model. Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.

Richey is expected to compete attend Texas Tech University this fall and compete on the rodeo team.
The Chisholm Trail Youth Rodeo had its awards ceremony this week, giving out plaques and buckles to the top competitors throughout the summer season.
There were four age categories with five events to compete in for the young athletes.
Along with the best results in each event, at the end the overall best cowboy and cowgirl in each age division was awarded as well.
The lead line division, in which an adult helps the young competitors, saw Rylee Stewart win the first in poles, barrel racing and mystery event on her way to win top cowgirl.
Hattie Snow got the fastest time in the flags event and Lany Shupak got the fastest goat time. Riggin Bishop got named the top cowboy in the division.
In the eight-and-under division, Whitley Goins won the top cowgirl and Trell Carpenter won top cowboy. Goins got the fastest times in barrel racing, flags and mystery event. Carpenter got the fastest time in poles and goats.
In the 9-12 age division, Sage Keck won the top cowgirl while Chisum Carpenter won the top cowboy. Keck got the fastest times in four of the five divisions. Only Layna Taylor getting the fastest goat time prevented her from winning in a clean sweep.
In the 13-18 age division, Tess Egenbacher won the top overall cowgirl award.
Kiley McCracken won both the barrel racing and flags event. Emma Strahan won the poles and mystery event. Hadlee Bryan won the goats event.
There was no top overall cowboy in the age division.
