Falcons Battle Tough, Get Bit by the Bulldogs 50-37

On Friday night, the Falcons hoped to rebound from their lackluster effort against Rising Star as they travelled to Loraine to face the Bulldogs. The first half was closely contested, with both team breaking off huge plays. Misael Romo rattled off two impressive touchdown runs, while Loraine countered with a combination of runs and passes to take a 26-24 halftime lead. The third quarter, however, was dominated by the Bulldogs. The lone bright spot for the Falcons was a 32 yard pass completion to Chris Buck that set up a two yard touchdown run. The Falcons trailed by 20 points in the fourth, but cut it to 13 on a nifty halfback completion from Laureano Sanchez to Camron Flavel. The rally ended, however, when a fourth down and seven attempt by the Falcons fell short. The Falcons now seek to right the ship against Hermeleigh Friday night. The Falcons now stand at 2-2 on the year.
