Forney Sends Frisco Memorial Packing 62 to 0

Thu, 09/07/2023 - 4:00am

Ending their last season with a 2-8 record and a second-to-last standing in their district, the Frisco Memorial Warriors had something to prove going into the ‘23-’24 school year. It would be up to them to rise to the challenge and make their comeback... which they might have had a better chance at doing if their second game of the season wasn’t against the up-andcoming powerhouse that is Forney. While the Warriors were already off to a rocky start with a 28-7 loss against Lakeview Centennial, they were given a crash course in real football when the scoreboard read 62-0 in favor of the Jackrabbits last Friday. Starting their season by putting out a multi-decade rivalry in their first game and dominating against Memorial for the second year in a row in their second game, the Forney Jackrabbits are continuing to gain momentum for a big swing at a state championship title.

With the backdrop of senior night, home opener, 100-degree weather, and facing the Wildcats who were 8-3 beating the Falcons last season, there were some questions on how the Falcons would respond. Head Coach Eric Luster said, “The Falcons had a great offseason and placed first in two team camps this summer. The Falcons also qualified for the state 7 on 7 this summer.” Luster said he was very excited to see the team continuing to keep the winning momentum.
