Falcon first baseman/outfielder and offensive standout Andrew Byrd signed his paperwork to attend Campbell University and pursue his career in football. Andrew joined fellow football players Connor McCartin and Kevin Friend who also signed division one scholarships on February 4th in the FHS Hall of Fame. Way to go Andrew!
Led by Junior Josh Rogers, the Falcons spent Saturday in the FHS Hall of Fame collecting canned goods in coordination with the food bank at Warrenton United Methodist Church. Way to go team, you really made a difference in someone's holiday season. Thanks to all of the members of the community who contributed to our cause.
Baseball conditioning will open on Monday, October 6th at the baseball field. Anyone interested in participating is welcome, and should report ready to workout. Conditioning will run Monday through Friday and last no later than 4:00 each day.
Contact Paul Koch if you have any questions.
The Falcons honored Ethan Hawes, T.J. Marable, Greg Ussery, Jimmy Lewis, and Billy Pierce at Senior Night last night and with a great offensive performance, defeated Liberty 13-3 in 6 innings. This game comes after an 8-7 win at Loudoun Valley on Tuesday night. These two wins give the Falcons momentum moving into the Cedar Run District Tournament beginning Monday.
Both games with Oakton are canceled due to field conditions. The Varsity game will not be played due to the opening of district tournaments for both teams next week. The JV game which was scheduled for Saturday is rescheduled for Wednesday night at 6:30PM at Oakton.
Senior Night ceremonies and the Falcons home game against Liberty have been rescheduled for Monday at 6:00. As of 12:00 noon, the game with Oakton is still scheduled for tomorrow(Varsity 12:00, JV 3:00). This site will be updated as the weather dictates the weekend schedule.
Both the JV and Varsity games will be held at Oakton HS in Vienna, VA on Saturday. The Varsity game will begin at 12:00 noon, and the JV game will follow at 3:00. Bus times are 9:30 for Varsity and 12:00 for JV.
Today's game with Potomac is canceled due to weather. The game has been rescheduled for Wednesday at 6:00. This is a varsity only game.
The Falcons got on the board early on a solo HR by Greg Ussery, his second of the year. Nick McMahon gave a strong start, but the Falcons ultimately couldn't hold down the Loudoun Valley offense, allowing 4 runs to score in the top of the 6th. The falcons went to the bottom of the 7th down 8-4 but made strong push to win which fell just short. Ryan Smith was hit by a pitch to start the inning, followed by clutch hits by Billy Pierce and Zach Phillips to load the bases. This set the table for Ussery's second big hit of the night - a 2 RBI double to right center field. Phillips later scored on a wild pitch to move the score to 8-7, but that is where the Falcon comeback would run out of steam.
Zack Dingus started for the Falcons, and was relieved by Ethan Hawes who earned the win; Nick McMahon pitched the 7th. Offensively, everyone chipped in, and the Falcon's were able to continually rebound from a threatening Liberty offense.
The Falcons look to rebound from back-to-back tough losses to Battlefield and Stonewall Jackson Friday night in Bealeton against Liberty.
