MESQUITE--Taylor Dupree gained 202 total yards and scored three touchdowns to lead Mesquite Poteet to a 26-15 come-from-behind victory in a crutial District 10-4A matchup Thursday night at Memorial Stadium.

Dupree rushed for 160 yards and two touchdowns while adding 42 yards receiving, including the go-ahead touchdown. Dupree's 22-yard catch with 5:46 remaining in the fourth quarter put Poteet (7-2, 4-2), who trailed 15-7 late in the third quarter, on top 19-15.

man i wanted to see forney win this one. what has to happen now for them to get in?

[Rabbit'93]

I think their chances are pretty slim. Even with a loss next week, Poteet would still have the head to head over Forney. I'm not sure it's possible for us to get in.

[Old Tiger]

sounds like a good game...good job Forney!

[kaorder1999]

i think the only way is if Poteet loses to someone this next week creating a 3 way tie for 3rd. Then they would have to go by points

[3afan]

J - I think Crandall/Mabank should be a good game tonight, eh?

[kaorder1999]

should be VERY good. Yall coming? :D :D

[3afan]

thinkin' on it - is it gonna be 70 degrees tonight in Crandall? :p

got pretty chilly last night ...

[kaorder1999]

did you see Logan Turner's stats from last night....?

he ended up last night 38 of 60 for 510 and 5 tds

BUT THEY LOST 70-44. AMAZING!

[Txbroadcaster]

Tough Break Forney

[3afan]

FHS has to beat 1-8 (after tonight) Terrel next week to finish 5-5


I have to chose between that game or WACO @ COVE

[kaorder1999]

forney competed for a spot in the playoffs in 4A. That is a big step in the right direction!

[kaorder1999]

they have an experienced QB coming back also and that will be good for them!
