The Falcons’ offense came to life in the second quarter as Petty Officer 3rd Class Patrick Williams, Falcons’ fullback, punched across the goal line on a nine yard run making the score 6-0.
“The team performed well and we played Falcon football tonight,” said Williams. “We played as team, as a family and as one unit.”
