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.

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.
