The Falcon Green team played their first game Saturday against the team from the Siskey Y and fell just a little short losing 20-12. The Siskey Y scored on their first possession of the game and was then shut down the rest of the first half by the Falcon’s stingy defense. The Falcon offense appeared to be a little nervous resulting in numerous dropped passses and went into the half time break trailing 6-0. The Siskey Y took the opening drive in the second half down to the Falcons 4 yard line before Ryan Brown stepped in front of a 4th down pass at the goal line and took it all the way back for a touchdown at the other end of the field. Thanks to some nifty running and a burst of speed, Ryan put the Falcons on the board and the game was tied 6-6. The Siskey Y scored the next time they had the ball and held a 12-6 lead going into the last minute of the game. With 35 seconds left in the game and the Falcon defense growing tired, the Siskey Y put the game away with a late touchdown and a 2 point conversion. However, the play of the game was still to come. The Falcon offense had the ball just short of the midfield stripe with 5 seconds left in the game. It was time for a Hail Mary which Mitch Moore and Ryan Brown executed to perfection. Mitch moved behind the line of scrimmage until Ryan made his way down the field. Mitch lofted a perfect pass which Ryan cradled in his arms at the 3 yard line and then headed for the cornor of the end zone. Ryan had his second touchdown of the game as the whistle sounded. The Falcons did not score the most points on the scoreboard this week but we definately won in every other way.
