Falcons use a potent defense along with just enough offense to win the Championship @MHSFalconsFB @IHS_ChiefsFB @wny_football
May 16, 2021 | contributor
Yesterday the spring season ended and boy oh boy did it in with a bang. The Falcons and Chiefs unbelievably found themselves deadlocked after regulation. Turnovers by the Falcons kept the Chiefs in this one along with guts play by an offense who struggled to an unofficially 51-yards total. For me, a dumb fan […]

Big games sometimes never live up to their billing this but was not the case when Southwestern traveled to Clymer to battle CSP. Both teams came in 5-0 and both teams have enough weapons on offense to scare most defenses. In this one, I do not believe either team scared the other with their offenses […]
