SP Falcons Varsity Football defeat Southern Bulldogs 37-21

After last nights cancellation due to lightning and thunder, the SP Varsity Football team hosted the Southern Bulldogs Friday at 4:00pm.  It only took a few minutes after a SP Defensive stand to see the Falcon Offense create a little Thunder and Lightning of their own.  #12 Taylor Kitzmiller, #24 Kieran Jenkins and #7 Tyler Haskell took it straight to the Bulldogs,  with a balanced offensive scheme that saw a quick score by the Falcons to go up 7-0.

The Bulldogs came into SP this week after lambasting Fairmont Heights 56-0 on opening day.  The Delaware Wing-T Offense wasn't going to help them this afternoon.  Falcon defenders were flying around the ball and caused several key turnovers.  With those turnovers, the Falcons went into halftime, 18-7.

Opening 2nd half kickoff saw a very long impressive drive by the Falcon Offense from their own 9 yard line and into the Bulldog end-zone.  Not to be outplayed, the next Offensive series for the Bulldogs #25 Dejean Neal took it 80 yards through the Falcon defense.  But for every jab the Bulldogs threw,  the Falcons countered and punched back.  After a late Bulldog TD,  Southern opted for a 2-point conversion.  Running left,  #55 Luke King LB for the Falcons tracked down the pitch and stopped the conversion with the tackle at the Bulldog 5 yard line.  That play seemed to take the steam out of the Bulldogs as SP put up a 40 yard beautiful pass by Kitzmiller and another rushing TD by #24 Jenkins to seal the game.  

The 1-1 SP Falcons  take on the 1-1 Chesapeake Cougars at Chesapeake!
Come on out and root on the Falcons!
