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.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
