The OHSAA Football Playoffs heat up this Friday as the Graham Falcons (3-7) assemble to go head-to-head against the Greeneview Rams (10-0) in Jamestown. Both teams are ready for a thrilling showdown. While the Falcons  face Greeneview (Jamestown) this Friday night, this gritty Falcons team needed key wins down the stretch. What did that look like? A 3-1 record over the final four games, including an inspiring Homecoming victory over the Braves of Shawnee (1-9) and a crucial win over the Northwestern Warriors (6-4). 

Sophomore Gage Stull (10), the Falcons’ quarterback, will lead the offense Friday after throwing for nearly 850 yards this season and compiling 9 touchdowns thrown. Another Sophomore, Danny Hoke (29) will help solidify the Falcons offensive attack; Hoke comes into postseason play with  605 yards on the ground and a 4.8 Yards Per Carry.  

The defense will be led by two senior stalwarts, Kaden Marshall and Caden Strader. Marshall compiled 81 total tackles, 3.5 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles;  Strader put together 101 total tackles and 1.5 sacks while forcing 1 fumble and recovering 1.  The Falcons defensive tenacity that Marshall and Strader bring will be crucial in order to enact their dominance throughout the game Friday night and pull off the win. 

There is no doubt this game will force teams to persevere using great teamwork on both sides of the ball, and the energy will be high as the Falcons return to the postseason after a 1-year hiatus. 

Kickoff is set for 7pm on November 1st at the Rams stadium in Jamestown. The student section theme is school spirit, and this game is a must watch as the Falcons will fight for the win!
