Falcons hook the 'Horns!

In the first varsity game of the season, the Veribest Falcons used the steady play of Cheyenne Black and the slashing speed of Misael Romo to beat the visiting Buena Vista Longhorns by a final of 70-44. In a game of big plays, the Longhorns pulled out to a 31-18 halftime lead by exploiting the Falcon secondary, striking for two pass plays of over 50 yards each. The second half, however, was dominated by the Blue and Gold. As the third quarter played out, and the Longhorns lost steam and healthy bodies, Black blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown, and Romo made a series of spectacular open-field runs to secure a tenuous Falcon lead of 50-44 going into the fourth quarter. Buena Vista's final shot at a comeback was foiled by Camron Flavel, who after being beaten in coverage, stripped the ball from the Longhorn receiver just as he broke free into open space. From there, the Falcons coasted to a comfortable victory.

One of the best efforts was turned in by Laureano Sanchez, whose blocking on offense and tackling on defense helped secure the Falcon victory. Dan Nichols also added a presence on defense. Next Friday, Veribest travels to Novice to take on the Hornets at 7:30pm. For photos click here.

JV Action against Water Valley

The JV football Falcons played hard but came up short against the Wildcats at Water Valley. Although the final score was 42-0, the effort of our boys was appreciated.

Lady Falcons Fall in Volleyball Action

Inconsistent play plagued the Lady Falcons as they lost in four games on Tuesday night against Cornerstone. Winning the first game 25-22, and with a 17-7 lead in the second game, Veribest faltered as Cornerstone made a furious rally to overcome the deficit and take control of the match. The bright spot of the night was senior setter Angela Hood. The Lady Falcons hit the court once again next Tuesday as they travel to Colorado City.

Short-handed Lady Falcons play hard, come up short

In a dual match on August 22, 2008, the Lady Falcons, playing without 3 of their key contributors, lost in three games to the Snyder Lady Tigers. Inconsistent serving and passing errors plagued the young and less than experienced squad. Playing unaccustomed positions, the girls rallied but lost to Rotan in four games. The coaches were pleased with the overall effort of the players, especially the younger ones like Becca Perez and Miriam Fernandez. The Lady Falcons will take the court against Cornerstone Christian Tuesday night in San Angelo at five o'clock. Come and support your Lady Falcons.

Falcons fly against Westbrook, falter against Rankin

In their final prelude to the beginning of the regular season, the Falcon Varsity football team bested the Westbrook Wildcats by a final of four scores to one. Running back Cheyenne Black led the team with two scores, while Camron Flavel and Misael Romo added one score each. Prior to the victory, the Falcons were handed a four score to two loss at the hands of the Red Devils of Rankin. The highlight play of this scrimmage was a sixty yard catch and run from quarterback Cris Broz to Flavel.

8/16/08- Falcons hit the field, wallow with the Wildcats

In their first action of the year, the Falcon football team played a dual scrimmage against TLC and Water Valley. The team handled TLC with ease, but found the Wildcats to be a much different story. Even though the offense failed to cross the goaline, the team had several bright moments. Sophomore Cheyenne B. led the attack by busting several long runs. The defense played the run well, but struggled in pass coverage. The scrimmage had some sloppy moments thanks to the rain, but in general, the coaches were pleased with the overall outcome.

The Falcons wrap up preparations for the upcoming season as they will host a four-way scrimmage this Friday, August 22nd, at 6:00 pm. The visiting team will travel from Rankin, Westbrook, and Victory Christian from Brownwood.
