Nelson Peterson Jr Goes Supernova in Forney Defeat
While Forney might've come up empty on Friday, Nelson Peterson Jr wasn't going down without a fight. Peterson Jr turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 309 yards and six touchdowns.
Forney has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four games, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-5 record this season. Peterson Jr and Forney will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Tyler Legacy at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st.
