Always the cliche thing to say, but this will be the toughest team Aledo has played all season. Do we have an update on the status of RB guillory or went out of the game with an ankle injury?

No idea about #9. Obviously I hope he is ok and can play. Our offense takes a big hit when he is out. At least our coaches will have a week to figure all of that out. If our defense shows up like they did against Abilene, we should be in a very good position to win the game. |

Having watched two Forney games and highlights, I think our offense will have opportunities to score points. Obviously we will need to take care of the ball but we should be fine on that side. Our defense however has their work cut out for them. Forney can score from anywhere on the field. Their RB is one of the best in the state even though he is just a sophomore! He is a load to tackle and will require the defense to finish the play. If you try to shoulder check him then he will break the tackle, laugh at you, then keep running. Defense will need to stay gap disciplined. The Forney WRs have made big plays throughout the entire playoff run. I dont think they are better than Lubbock Cooper or Red Oak at WR but I think the Forney QB has been playing really well lately. Forney did score against Lancaster on a kick return so hopefully the coaches will just squib kick the ball from the jump and not play games. Special teams will be an issue the entire rest of the way but thats life. Excited to watch this one play out! Forney stud RB highlights www.hudl.com/video/3/17729135/6509be99e97a470a1c0c6c51 |

I see a good game that is close most of the way with Aledo pulling away in the 2nd half for a 1-2 TD win.
Forney is a damn good team and I do think will probably be Aledo's toughest opponent to date. But I don't think they can win unless they force Aledo into some big time mistakes. If Forney goes +2 in turnovers and they can cash them in all bets are off.

Special special player Has it all for sure. Great vision, lateral movement, and wheels! Catches it well to. We have a great super soph RB as well that I believe is a 4 star now and verbally committed to OU. He is about 6' and close to 200 already and looks a little bigger than the Aledo RB. How big is this young man for Aledo? |

How big is this young man for Aledo? Idk to be honest. My best guess would be 5'9/5'10 185?? But I am terrible at guessing at that type of stuff. |

Forney is good and deserves to be in this Semifinal. Aledo is elite and will be way too much for Forney. I will be surprised if it is closer than a 17 point differential. Aledo Defense will get the stops on Forney.

Aledo Defense will get the stops on Forney. I hope our defense is ready. They will be the key to the game. If we can contain the Forney RB before he gets started then we should be in good shape. He gets tough to bring down the more head of steam he gets. |

AA, Before the start of the playoffs I honestly anticipated playing Longview this week and will miss reading all the banter and fanfare from their supporters about the game. Their fans are very entertaining and knowledgeable bunch but also truthful and respectful, you can't help but like them.
No doubt Forney deserves to be playing this week and it will be heck of a game. Will be fun to hear from some of Forneys supporters this week.
