Nelson Peterson Jr Dazzles in Forney Loss
Forney had to settle for second on Friday, but Nelson Peterson Jr sure wasn't going down easily. Peterson Jr was dynamite, throwing for 309 yards and six touchdowns.
Forney has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four contests, 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 defeat as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Tyler Legacy at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st.

Underclassman Carter Zahm Major Player in Rockwall-Heath Victory
Underclassman Carter Zahm came into Friday's match looking to prove himself and that's exactly what he did. He turned in nothing short of a gem on Friday, rushing for 72 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, while also picking up 61 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Rockwall-Heath's win bumped their record up to 3-4. Zahm will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Longview on Friday.
