Junior HIgh Falcons stay Perfect for the Season

Following a 40-13 win over Santa Anna last week, the junior high Falcons travelled to Rochelle Thursday night to square off against an undefeated Hornets team. After falling behind early, Veribest rallied on their first possession of the game. Jon Santiago scored on a 35 yard reverse to give Veribest a 7-6 advantage. From there, the Falcons slowly pulled away, leading at the break 20-6. Matt Valdez was the star of the night for Veribest He ended the game with four touchdowns- two rushing, one on a pass, and one on a key interception return- in the second half. While the offense did enough to win, the defensive effort was praised by the coaches. Veribest now has a record of 6-0, and will face Eden next Thursday night at home. Congratulations to the Falcons on a great season so far! Come out and support the team as they look for seven in a row.
