Forney slips past Lobos at home, 28-24

Forney struck first in the opening quarter when Javian Osborne bulldozed in a 4-yard rushing TD. Longview responded later in the quarter, cutting into the lead with a touchdown to make it 7–7. In the second quarter, the Lobos took over, putting up 10 points while shutting out Forney to carry a 17–14 lead into halftime. In the third quarter, Forney scored twice, extending its advantage to 28–17. Longview answered late in that period with a TD of its own, narrowing the gap to 28–24. In the final quarter, Longview forced Forney to punt, then drove inside Forney territory, getting inside the 40 with under two minutes to play. But their push fell just short with a fumble on the 4-yard line. After the turnover, Longview got the ball back but could not convert on a fourth-and-two, turning the ball over to Forney, who ran out the clock to preserve the 28–24 win.
