Friday night, Oct. 16, 2020—North Forney Falcons defeat Forney High Jackrabbits in this year’s UNITY BOWL at City Bank Stadium after a close game into the 2nd quarter. North’s Acuna tossed three touchdown passes, and Jermaine Oakley rushed for a game high 90 yards and two 2nd half touchdowns.
The two 5A teams stood at 21—14 for the Falcons in the second quarter, but as the Jackrabbits moved to within one score, North Forney stuck the next 40 points onto their side of the scoreboard before Forney High could score again!
Rushing yardage was 241—132 for the Falcons and 229 –112 through the air, and Ricky Cortez put kick after kick through the uprights, including a 22-yard field goal.
This sends the North Forney Falcons to a shiny record of 5 wins and 0 losses as they prepare for a tough game against neighboring Crandall in Crandall next week, and the Jackrabbits seek to rebound against “highly pre-season ranked” Corsicana in Corsicana.
Other scores of note this week-end included Highland Park 46 over Rockwall 18, Paris 32 over Terrell 10, Wilmer Hutchins 28 over North Dallas 7, Aubrey 48 over Sanger 25, Melissa 50 over Anna 14, Caddo Mills 70 over Farmersville 14, Whitesboro 24 over Pilot Point 6, Godley 35 over Ferris 7, Celina 64 over Krum 7, Princeton 24 over Prosper Rock Hill 17, Frisco Liberty 58 over Frisco Memorial 51, Royse City 41 over Corsicana 28, Kimball 34 over Seagoville 7, Mesquite Poteet 49 over Spruce 0, Lovejoy 31 over Denison 24, Keller Timber Creek 27 over West Mesquite 7, Mesquite Horn 41 over Tyler 27, Sachse 41 over North Garland 7, McKinney 24 over Sherman 14, Cedar Hill 27 over Aledo 17.
SMU Ponies 37 over Tulane Green Wave 34, University of North Texas Mean Green 52 over Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders 35, Texas A&M Aggies 28 over Mississippi State Bulldogs 14. And JUST FOR FUN, right now at 11:30 p. m. Sunday night, I am predicting the COWBOYS will defeat the CARDINALS 31—23, but don’t bet any big money!
