Falcons Drop Season Finale, Playoffs Next

Despite the 7-5 loss to visiting Kettle Run, there was a great
atmosphere at Athey Park as the Falcons honored their 11 Seniors and
supported those fighting Breast Cancer.

The night began with a long lineup of of Seniors and their escorts who
tipped their hats one final time at Athey Park. Hollis, Lee, Seth,
Chris, Drew, Josh, Ryan, Hunter, Forrest, Justin and Dylan have served
this team and school community well, and they each made significant
contributions in the game tonight. The team also wore pink ribbons,
the Falcon mascot threw out the first pitch - a pink baseball, and the
park observed a moment of cheering for those winning the fight against
Breast Cancer.

The team returns to action Tuesday as the playoffs begin. The
Falcons, finishing with the #2 seed in the regular season, will play a
rematch with Kettle Run at 4:30 pm at tournament host Brentsville
District High School.

Falcons Win Thriller with Liberty in District Opener

The Falcons and Liberty Eagles played a classic last night, but in the end, as the Falcons were down to their last out, it was Adam Kowalczyk driving in Ryan Smith to tie and Hunter Pearson driving in Kowalczyk for the win in the bottom of the 11th.  Forrest Drake threw 6 innings in the start allowing two runs and Drew Law came out of the bullpen to work the extra frames going 5 innings.  Law allowed only the unearned go ahead run to score in the top of the 11th, prior to the bottom half heroics.

The win moves the Falcons to 7-1, 1-0 in the Evergreen district.  The Falcons return to action on Tuesday at James Wood HS.
