MARINE CORPS AIR STATION MIRAMAR, Calif. – Marine Corps Air Station Miramar’s Falcons held a pep rally for the team and their supporters, July 30, to raise spirits before their first game of the season as they go on to defend the title of “Best of the West.”
“I wish the game was today, that’s how excited I am about this,” said Sgt. Herman Dillard, a quarterback with the Falcons and a St. Louis native. “I have a feeling that we’re going to win this game. I’m proud to be a part of this team.”
Last year’s season, for some of the Falcons, has not ended.
“We’ve been training since last season,” said Cpl. Persons Griffith, a defensive captain with the Falcons and an Arlington, Texas, native. “We’ve been working out together, working on fund raisers and leadership on the team. So we really haven’t stopped since last season.”
During the rally the coaches picked the captains for the team, the Marines who showed their willingness to put the team first in all aspects of what they do.
“‘Once a Falcon, always a Falcon,’ Just like coach says,” said Griffith. “Hopefully we come away with the win and an idea of where else we can improve ourselves.”
As the first game approaches, the Falcons and their dedicated team captains prepare with victory in mind.
