Several student athletes from Forney High School and North Forney High School signed letters of intent to continue playing their sport in college.
Five members of the Angelo State University Rambelles soccer team, including Cassidy Hill of Forney, have earned Lone Star Conference postseason honors that were announced at the LSC Championship Banquet on Nov. 11.

My phone conversation with Lake Tawakoni catfish guide Tony Pennebaker went something like this. “Luke, I know you are all about catching these ‘eater’ blues weighing between 2 and 10 pounds rather than specifically targeting trophy class fish but you might just catch both on our upcoming trip. The fall bite has been very steady,” says Tony.
Turkeys might be in short supply at the grocery store this year but there are plenty of them roaming the woods and fields across much of Texas. Luke arrowed this young gobbler last week on the Dale River Ranch.
I wrapped up the month long bow only season without releasing an arrow at a whitetail. I had plenty of opportunities at younger bucks and smaller doe but my goal was to put venison in the freezer. I was targeting a mature animal that was packing lots of venison. Each year, I try to take a deer as early in the season as possible so that there will be plenty of venison to prepare at upcoming hunting camps.
The Crandall Pirates made it back to the playoffs for the first time in two years under the direction of a new head coach. Kyle Hardin is in his second year at Crandall and has transformed the program to be able and compete in a tough 5A division.
The Forney Jackrabbits hosted the Frisco Liberty Redhawks for their First Round Matchup in the Texas 5A State Playoffs last week. The atmosphere was electric as the town came out to support the Rabbits on a cold evening. A win versus the Redhawks last Friday night would result in a second round date with Powerhouse Aledo. The Jackrabbits were unable to overcome a fast start by Liberty, though, and ultimately ended their season with a 45-21 loss at City Bank Stadium.

Coach Hardin and his Pirates had been locked in all week preparing for their matchup with Greenville. If the Pirates won, they would make it to the playoffs for the first time since moving up to 5A.
