Balko-Forgan @ Laverne

I got to look at Balko’s game with Hollis. They were just lucky to have got out of their with a win honestly. They literally have little chance with the likes of Laverne.

Went back and watched the Laverne - Balko Forgan game last night after the Dewar game, and honestly Balko - Forgan is legit. Had Laverne on the ropes. Lead the whole game until that last Laverne score when they went up 36-28. I had my doubts and figured Laverne would roll. But they are a legit team and contender.

I was there. Balko has a lot of talent. A QB with speed, and size. Two lineman that are big and create a lot of space for their runners. The McGowan kid from Forgan is a threat on offense, and covers the field really well defensively.

Minus the amount of flags thrown, probably the best high school football game I have seen in a long time. Very evenly matched game, Laverne scored late to take the lead, Balko was driving, and then the Tiger D-Line came alive. A few big hits, and then forced a fumble with 25 seconds left.

As competitive as District B-1 is, Balko-Forgan might have to travel quite a bit during the playoffs. If they travel somewhere within an hour or two of where you are, quite the team to come watch. Will be an exciting game this Thursday night as Balko-Forgan matches up against Shattuck. Do not be surprised if they upset the Indians.
