FORNEY, Texas – The North Forney Lady Falcons are only five games into district play but already have their sights on playoffs – and for good reason.
The Falcons are currently leading District 10-4A with a 5-0 record. The Falcons have nearly scored double digits in each of their district matchups and have yet to be scored on – allowing only five hits. According to MaxPreps.com, the Falcons are ranked 12th in Texas and nationally ranked 49th.
“The girls are prepared for this season,” said North Forney Falcons Softball Head Coach Scott Delozier. “They put in a really tough off season and worked hard both physically and mentally.”
The Falcons current overall season record is 16-3 with two ties and they competed in three preseason tournaments in Forney, Allen, and McKinney. “We played a tough non district schedule to prepare them for some tough district games and for a tough road through the playoffs,” said Delozier.
With nine district matchups left, Delozier said he has a close-knit group of seniors looking to leave their mark before graduating. “They used the end of last season as motivation and have really been focused so far,” he said. “I really look forward to the rest of the season.”
In district, the Falcons have defeated Carollton Creekview 10-0, Terrell 15-0, Highland Park 9-0, West Mesquite 18-0, and Carrollton Newman Smith 18-0. One of their toughest matchup of the season is Friday, March 21, 2014, against crosstown rival and third-ranked Forney High School (4-1) at Forney High School at 7 p.m.
After their game against Forney, the Falcons will host second-ranked Mesquite Poteet at home on Tuesday, March 25, 2014, at 7 p.m.
