THIRD QUARTER

– FIELD GOAL FORNEY. Back come the Jackrabbits, as they advance inside the Willis 25 before the drive stalls. But Vincent Hart drills a 41-yard field goal, and the Jackrabbits are within six. (Willis, 17-11 | 3:10, 3rd)

– TOUCHDOWN WILLIS. Wildkats come right back with a 7-play, 55-yard drive, which ends with an 8-yard run by Texas commit Jermaine Bishop, who flashes the Longhorns’ “Hook ‘Em” sign upon reaching the end zone. (Willis, 17-8 | 6:17, 3rd)

It’s a direct snap to 5⭐️ ATH & @TexasFootball commit Jermaine Bishop (@B6Jermaine) and he takes off for the end zone, throwing up #HookEm to the crowd!@dctf | #txhsfb pic.twitter.com/pfjvVLgq9U

– TOUCHDOWN AND 2-POINT CONVERSION FORNEY. Javian Osborne, Forney tailback and Notre Dame commit, runs it in from 14 yards out; then on a PAT try, the kick is blocked but it’s fumbled by Willis and Forney’s Aaron Merkson lands on the ball in the end zone for two points. WOW. (Willis, 10-8 | 9:00, 3rd)

– Forney takes the second-half kickoff and is on the move. Jackrabbits have the ball inside the Willis 10.

HALFTIME

– We are at halftime, and Forney has to feel fortunate to be down by only 10 at the break.

SECOND QUARTER

– FUMBLE RECOVERY FORNEY. Wow, what a play by the Jackrabbits defense, as Nick Moreno knocked the ball loose from a Willis player who was about to cross the goal line, and Forney’s Xzavier Young recovers with a minute left in the first half.

On the 2-yard line, Forney’s Xzavier Young recovers a Willis fumble to keep Forney within 10. One minute left in the first half.
