Falcons 31 – Harris YMCA 21
The Falcons scored 31 points in the second have to erase a 21-7 deficit and defeat the Harris Y by a score of 31-21. The first half started out slow for the Falcons as the offense had only two possessions and both stalled inside the Harris Y’s 5 yard line. The defense allowed two long drives that resulted in two touchdowns and two successful extra points for the Harris Y and a 14-0 lead at half time. Coach Tyson told the players during the half time break that they were not executing but when we scored on our first possession we would be back in the game.
The Falcons lined up on offense to start the second half with Ryan Brown taking the snap at quarterback. Ryan lofted a deep pass down field to Caleb Robinson who out wrestled two defenders to come up with a super catch. That play seemed to ignite the Falcons who suddenly became a different team. Ryan Brown scored the Falcons first touchdown of the day with a quarterback reverse on the next play. Mitch Moore then hit Ryan in the cornor of the end zone for the extra point and it was a 14-7 game. The Harris Y scored on their very first play of the second half on a long run around the right end and completed the extra point. It was now 21-7 but the Falcons spirt had not changed. The Falcons took over on their own five yard line and Mitch Moore scored on the first play with a paas to Ryan Brown and a pitch back to Mitch. The extra point was missed but the Falcons had immediately answered the Y’s score and now trailed 21-13. The defense held the Y to four and out and the offense took over. The Falcons moved to the Harris Y 20 yard line where Ryand Brown faked the reverse and ran around the right end for the Falcons third score of the game. The extra point was missed but it was now 21-19. The Falcons held on first and second down when Hank Booth made a tremendous interception to give the Falcons the ball on the Harris Y 15 yard line. Tripp Osteen took the hand off and scampered through the Harris defense for his first touchdown of the year and gave the Falcons their first lead of the day at 25-21. The Harris Y’s offense took possession with four minutes still left in the game. Four plays later they were on the Falcon 12 yard line with 1 minute and 25 seconds left to play. Coach Tyson called his first time out to preserve time for the offense in case the Harris Y scored. On the next play Mitch Moore stepped in front of a goal line pass and took it the other way before he was stopped at the Harris Y three yard line. Ryan Brown cemented the victory when he scored his 3rd touchdown of the game on a pass from Mitch Moore. The Falcon defense would hold one more time as the Falcons recorded their 4th straight win.
