The North Forney Falcons will hit the road for the first time this season to square off against the Plano East Panthers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
North Forney is leaving town to face Plano East after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. North Forney lost to Skyline at home by a 21-7 margin on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Plano East had to kick off their season on the road on Friday, but they showed no ill effects. They claimed a resounding 55-27 victory over Royse City on the road.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Plano East to victory, but perhaps none more so than Jackson Hays, who threw for 124 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown. Chance Ables was in the mix too, providing Plano East with two receiving touchdowns touchdowns.
Plano East's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged four passes before it was all said and done. Judah Thompson led the group effort, picking up two of those interceptions all by himself. Andrew Earls didn't just play on offense: he also made four total tackles and defended a pass in addition to snagging an interception which he returned one-yard for a touchdown. Joshua Barrow was another major factor on D, picking up a sack and making 15 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Plano East was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 437 total yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Royse City only gained 227.
