On Friday night the Forsan Buffaloes played in Hawley. Jayden Golleher made the first touchdown of the game in the first quarter by landing on the ball in our touchdown zone. It was a long and stressful night but the team played amazingly. Major Stockton contributed to many of the great plays. While the team showed fierceness and determination, the Buffs were unable to score a touchdown for the last 3 quarters. The Buffs were on the one yard line with 7 seconds to go the last quarter, but they fell short in time and didn’t make the final touchdown, falling short 6 point to be tied. In the end, Hawley won. Come out and support our boy this Friday night as they battle against Wall.
