Forney - 50 Wills Point - 8

FORNEY--From Forney’s third play, Wills Point’s defense knew it was in for a long night.
Baylen Laury scored a 68-yard touchdown on his second touch, and the Forney offense had seven first-half touchdowns in a 50-8 victory Friday in the Class 3A Division I Region II bi-district playoffs at City Bank Stadium.
Forney (10-1), the District 13-3A champion, advances to play Carthage, which defeated Longview Spring Hill on Friday.
Laury added two other scores, of 2 and 51 yards, and finished with 234 yards on 12 carries, all in the first half. Forney, ranked No. 2 in SportDay’s Class 3A-Others rankings and No. 5 in the Associated Press state poll, gained 477 yards rushing and averaged 13.25 yards per carry as a team.
Laury’s rushing total matched his second-best output of the season, which he gained against Kaufman on Oct. 31. In his final regular-season game, against Wilmer-Hutchins on Nov. 7, Laury gained 267. During the regular season, he totaled 1,584 yards, which ranked him third of Class 3A rushers.
Forney’s seven first-half touchdown drives averaged 62.3 yards and 4.1 plays, and the defense held Wills Point to 57 yards rushing in the half. Wills Point (7-4) quarterback Brandon Stevens found his groove late and completed 13 of his final 15 passes.
Laury led a Forney offense that has been humming for most of the season. After scoring 27 points in its first two games, one of which was a 31-10 loss to Mesquite Horn in the season’s second game, Forney won eight straight. In those eight games, the offense averaged 54.5 points.
In the second quarter, Wills Point drove to the Forney 12-yard line, but a fumble, its fourth turnover of the half, ended the possession. Forney then drove 90 yards in nine plays to take a 47-0 lead, which was the halftime margin.
Kicker Collin Knowles got Forney to 50 points when he kicked a 50-yard goal with 9:23 left in the game. Stevens completed a 7-yard touchdown pass to Lucky Greer with 37 seconds left to avoid the shutout.

(no 3A 2nd team D for that matter)
