2013 (W) Ennis 29-6..... This semi game was also played in Midlothian but on a cold cold Saturday afternoon. There was no love loss between the teams and fans.
Also remember during those years, the bulk of coverage of HS games in the DFW area were on late Friday nights with 2 television yahoos, whose only job was just to read the HS scores from Friday night games and imput a few comments. Unfortunately they struggled just reading the scores and it went downhill from there. Several times they openly commented, they hoped Aledo would get smashed in the face. Never liked those guys but they're gone and hope they found their calling.

Not much more can be said about this game but Tepper of DC had a good rundown on how he thinks the game will play out. Hope he's right.
I'm not familiar with Forney's fanbase but wonder if they travel well? Thought I read they do. Nothing beats Texas HS playoff atmosphere. I have a family member in a neighboring state, who coached football and ended up with 2 State Championship rings, but he's always flabbergasted when he and I get the chance to go to the Texas State Championship games.
Go Bearcats!

Aledo's Defensive Line, LB's and Secondary are ALL extremely good and well coached tacklers.

Are you glad Forney beat Lancaster? Yes. Lancaster had a very athletic QB who can improvise . Those types of QB's historically give us fits. Forney has a very athletic RB but historically we have been able to stop or slow them down, i.e. Tatum from last year's game. FYI...No way disrespecting or dismissing Forneys QB or RB.

Who would you rather play? Lancaster just because of the DFW hype that got going after the Longview win. However I think Forney is a better matchup for us.

Seems like a pretty good day to qualify for state! Forney can play the 'why not us' role like Abilene did. It won't change what's coming.

Special teams played great to night!! That punt block towards the beginning really set the tone. And our run defense has really picked it up these last two weeks!! The D-line is taking it personal lol.
Final
Aledo 43 Forney 7

Aledo defense held the Forney RB to 49 yards rushing! Brilliant performance considering how good he is!
