Head Coach Ed Gallagher: “We have had very similar scores against our common opponents. Their defense is very stout – we will need to successfully mix the run and pass to score points on them. The key to stopping them is stopping their QB – he’s a great athlete who makes a ton of plays for them.”
#14 Pennsbury (5-5,3-4)
About the Falcons: The Falcons enter the playoffs as the 14th seed at 5-5 overall.
