Falcons Play Hard, Fall to Richland Springs 46-0

The final score was a lopsided 46-0. This, however, did not tell the story of Veribest's effort against Richland Springs Friday night. In one of the hardest-played games of the year, and facing the #3 ranked team in the state, Veribest mounted three impressive drives in the contest. Laureano Sanchez was the key to the Falcon attack. The Coyote defense struggled to contain the feisty runner, who repeatedly carried would-be tacklers for positive yardage. The only thing Veribest failed to do was push the ball into the end zone. Two drives ended in interceptions, and one ended on downs. The effort of the whole team was noted by the coaches. The coaches were particularly positive about the blocking and overall determination of the team. Jon Ubando, who played a good game, was injured in the closing minutes. He did have to have surgery to repair a severely broken wrist, but is on the mend.
