Boys Varsity Football vs. Mechanicsburg

Game Date
Aug 30, 2024
Score
FALCONS: 7.00
MECHANICSBURG: 34.00

The Falcons traveled to Mechanicsburg (1-1) to take on the Indians Friday night, but they were also batting the heat. On a humid, mid-90 degree night, both teams knew executing on the little things and taking advantage when the opportunity arose was going to be key in garnering a much-needed week 2 win. 

After a early 7-0 Mechanisburg lead, the Falcon's defense dug their feet in and Junior Izaiah Smith intercepted the 'Burg's Conley Bogard in the end zone, which swung the momentum back in the Falcon's favor. However, the 'Burg's defense mirrored the great play from the Falcon defense and stopped the Graham O and scored 13 unanswered points.

The highlight of the night for the Falcon's came with only seconds to go in the first half. Senior Adam Levy caught a screen pass from Sophomore Gage Stull and dashed for an 80-yard touchdown, making it 20-7; the play served as a key reminder to the team and its fans of the firepower the Falcon's possess on any given play. 

While the Falcons fell 34-7 and fall to 0-2 overall, they'll look to rebound and achieve their first win of the year at Brookville (1-1) this Friday, September 6th. The Blue Devils are coming off a 46-20 loss to Anna last week, and will be hosting their first home game Friday when the Falcons come to town. Kick off is set for 7.
