Forestburg took care of Montague County and District 12-1A-II rival Gold-Burg Friday night, with an easy 72-0 victory at Longhorn Field.
Now, the Longhorns prepare for a road game at Woodson.
Woodson, with a record of 3-5, is coming off a similar shellacking against tradition-rich Throckmorton.
Forestburg comes into the game at 5-2. This will mark one of the team’s longest trips of the season.
“Any time you travel that far, it’s a tough thing,” Forestburg head coach Wayne Tuckwell said.
Tuckwell said the team is prepared for the voyage, having played at Weatherford Christian earlier this season. Weatherford Christian is one of Longhorns’ two losses this season.
Woodson runs a spread offense similar to Gold-Burg’s.
“They like to get players out into space,” Tuckwell said.
On defense, Woodson runs primarily a 2-3 defense, and it has been gashed for 441 points so far this season.

New Saint Jo Boy’s Basketball Coach Terry McLennan said the school’s family atmosphere is what prompted him to join the Panther family.
“This is an opportunity to be an important program but also part of a great community,” McLennan said. “I’ve been looking to get back to a small town environment like the one I grew up in and played ball and this should do that.”
McLennan played basketball in Hubbard outside of Waco. McLennan comes to town after being the assistant girl’s basketball coach in Grand Prairie.
McLennan contends he’s a defensive style of coach but says his team will focus on intensity.

After some coaching time in East Texas, Bret Botard will be the new girl’s basketball coach at Bowie.
Botard said it’s a chance to work with Bowie Athletic Director Tyler Price once again. Price was Botard’s assistant when he coached at Nocona.
“I wanted to get back into the area,” Botard said. “It’s a good community.”
Botard graduated high school in 1995 from Del Valle High School, outside Austin, and went to Texas Tech. He started his coaching career in Lubbock followed by returning to his alma mater where he was an assistant for his high school coach.
