Non-District

The Falcons went into Friday's game never ready to show any signs of giving up during difficult moments.

Led by a determined group of athletes, the Falcons are headed into a second district game against a 2-2 Royse City in what will be Royse City's first district game of the season. Looking to continue their hot streak, the team can be expected to come out energetic with a passion to win.
