Steers Stampede the Falcons 54-8.

In the last home game of the year, the Falcons hoped to honor the outgoing seniors with a victory. Instead, the game ended in the 3rd quarter, as Robert Lee beat Veribest 54-8. Trailing 16-0 in the 1st quarter, Veribest got themselves back into the contest with an impressive drive capped off by a Laureano Sanchez touchdown run. The senior's score,however, would be the only one of the night for the Falcons. A series of turnovers and the inablilty to tackle sealed Veribest's fate. Robert Lee scored both on pass plays and runs as they 45'ed the Falcons. One of the bright spots for Veribest was the play of sophmore Cris Broz, who defensively led the Falcons with 8 tackles.

Four seniors played their final home games for Veribest. Camron Flavel, Laureano Sanchez, Chris Buck, and Jon Ubando were honored before the game for their hard work and dedication. The season for the Falcons will come to an end next Friday as they face Richland Springs on the road.
