Varsity Falcons hobbled by Santa Anna

In their first district contest of the year, the Veribest Falcons were slowed by injuries and inconsistent play as they fell to the Mountaineers 53-8. After Santa Anna scored on the opening drive of the game, Veribest responded with a 5 minute drive dominated by the run. Jon Ubando hit paydirt on a three yard carry, and Chris Buck added the extra point to give the Falcons the 8-6 advantage. Santa Anna took control of the game on the kickoff, returning the kick 71 yards for a touchdown. Veribest mounted yet another drive that ended in a fumble recovery by Santa Anna. A series of miscues and injuries crippled the Falcons from that point on, along with unmotivated play. Veribest failed to rally, and as the game progressed, Santa Anna steamrolled its way to an easy 53-8 mercy-ruled win. While disappointed, the Falcons hope to rebound this week against Rochelle at Homecoming. Come out and support the Falcons as they try to even their district record at 1-1. They will do so without the services of Camron Flavel and Dan Nichols, who were injured during the game.
