Grosfeld said, “The kids played awesome, we knew there were some challenges going into the game, but they played well.”
Grosfeld says it’s a fresh new positive era this season with a huge amount of “negativity” the past couple of seasons being a strong effect on the team.
“If we changed anything, we’ve made it real positive, we made it fun for these kids to play and that’s what we’re trying to accomplish,” Grosfeld said.
Grosfeld is making sure that there is always players on the team to step in for injured players.
The Falcons’ football team has its next game at home against College of the Canyons on Sept. 22.
Grosfeld said, “It’ll be a nice little challenge for us… win, lose or draw, we’re gonna be fine.”
Bravo said, “If we do what we’re suppose to do the only team that can beat us is ourselves.
Bravo ended with, “This is the first week that we’re facing a team equally as talented as us.”
Both sides will be following up on a 60 plus scoring game, this Saturday night match-up will be a battle of undefeated teams.
