Ennis energy runs short against nemesis Hawks

Lions have keys to make stretch run

With a chance to build momentum against the lower rungs on the ladder to the top of District 104A, a focused Ferris can take on the top two teams in the standings, Waxahachie Life and Godley on Oct. 3 and 6. First they must defeat Venus, Kennedale and Alvarado, the latter two at home.
