Thursday, November 19, 2020 (Almost Midnight)—I think I will check Thursday night football scores before I recline for some serious Law and Order and/or The Hallmark Channel television viewing. “Oh, no! Let me check another source. This can’t be right!”

“But, it was, and the screen read, ‘North Forney Falcons 7-0-7-0—14 vs. Ennis Lions 21-0-10-7—38 at both sites!”

However, at least this was not a “lose-and-you’re out” play-off game! In my mind (pretending I am the coach), “Now we know what they’ve got and what we have to do!”

Forney Jackrabbits came oh, so close to upsetting favored Corsicana Friday night at City Bank Stadium. The visiting Tigers took a 14—0 lead into the halftime break, but the Rabbits came back with two touchdowns and 14 points in the second half to make it exciting; however, Corsicana had a 60 yard pass and PAT kick left in the tank and took the final 21—14. The Forney guys led in 1st downs, and the two teams were about even in rushing and passing yards; however Forney did lose a fumble in this defensive battle!
