Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Forney). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the Boswell Pioneers 49-16 at home. Given the Jackrabbits' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 71st, while the Pioneers are ranked 482nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Javian Osborne was his usual excellent self, rushing for 114 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, while also picking up 49 receiving yards and a touchdown. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he now rushed for 114 or more in the last three games he's played. DJ Page was another key player, picking up 105 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Forney was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 231 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 231 rushing yards in three consecutive games.
The victory got Forney back to even at 2-2. As for Boswell, they are on a five-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-4.

Forney will play host again on Friday to welcome North Forney, where kickoff is scheduled at 7:30 p.m. North Forney will be hoping to continue their three-game streak of scoring more points each match than the last. As for Boswell, they will be playing at home against Mansfield at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Mansfield will roll in looking for their fifth straight win, something Boswell surely won't give up without a fight.
