FORNEY – Fullback Larry Bush, who with 115 yards here last night continued to average better than 100 rushing yards per game, scored three touchdowns to lead Forney’s Jackrabbits in a 78-0 touchdown deluge on Grandview.

It was the ninth straight victory for the Jackrabbits, who are ranked No. 1 in the state’s Class A circles and haven’t had anyone closer to them than 14 points this season.

Bush’s three touchdowns came on runs of 8, 28 and 20 yards.

Halfback Tommy Reeder and Bill Curry, another Rabbit fullback, also got a pair of touchdowns a piece. Reeder’s came on rambles of 29 and 47 yards and Curry’s scored on runs of 4 and 6 yards.

Among the other scoring gems of the night, Thomas Cheney unreeled a 70-yard punt return and quarterback Johnny Wortham sped 33 yards.

Kicker Don Morrison had quite a busy evening, booting 10 extra points and a 20-yard field goal.

Forney’s latest stampede, which saw the Rabbits breezing along with a 42-0 halftime lead, set up a District 14-A showdown next week with Cedar Hill.
