In Friday's football contest, the Veribest Falcons rallied from a halftime deficit to defeat the Novice Hornets 63-44. Playing on the road for the first time this season, the Falcons felt the pressure from the Hornets from the outset. In a first half dominated by offensive play, the Falcon defense faltered on the final series of the half, and relinquished the lead 31-29 going to the halftime break.
However, during the latter stages of the third quarter, and throughout the fourth quarter, the defense held the Hornets to just two scores, while the offense continued to churn out points. Along with Cheyenne Black and Misael Romo, once again key figures in the Falcon victory, senior Chris Buck got into the scoring act, catching a touchdown pass from Cris Broz. The Hornets fought until the end, but were simply outplayed by the Falcons. The coaches were pleased with the attitude and determination shown by the team, but continue to look for improvement next week against Rising Star. That game will be played at home beginning at 7:30 pm.
