The Falcons pitched a 3-0 week to get to double-digit wins. On Monday, the FC ratcheted it up in the second half versus Schaeffer Academy, … [Read more...]

Bethany Academy (twice), Southland, FC, BP, and Randolph had seasons, making section title games. Go … [Read more...]

Falcon GBB the New County #1
