FORNEY, Texas — North Forney High School claimed the championship at the 2015 Forney Independent School District Winter Classic basketball tournament over the weekend in a 76-55 thriller over North Mesquite High School.
“The Falcons took control of the game early with a 19-6 edge in the first quarter and never looked back,” stated Head Coach Andrew Curtis on the district’s website.
With the win, the Falcons improved to 11-2 on the season — having played 10 games in 12 days in December and winning both the Forney ISD Winter Classic and the Kennedale Invitational.
Cross-town rival, Forney High School, finished the Forney ISD Winter Classic in 3rd place — its best finish ever in its host tournament. Forney defeated Corsicana 52-50 off two successful free throw attempts by Texas A&M baseball commit Jonathan Childress with 0.3 seconds left on the clock.
