Forney Beats Port Arthur 44 to 7 in First Playoff Game
Thu, 11/16/2023 - 5:00am
After pushing through their regular seasons for successful outcomes (the Forney Jackrabbits at 9-1 and the second seed in district, and the Port Arthur Memorial Titans right behind them at 8-2 as the third seed in district), the Jackrabbits and the Titans faced off for the bi-district championship title last Friday. The Titans were familiar with the routine, after making a run for the state title last year and being crowned area champions. For the Rabbits, things were a bit more fresh as they would be making their second playoff appearance after a 5-year drought and being eliminated in the first round by the Barber Hill Eagles last year. However, the newcomer Jackrabbits ended up securing the victory in the end with a 44-7 score.
