Game 6 vs Northwest Christian

from Northwest Christian threw at will and the Prep continued to bring key offensive drives to a stop with wildly thrown balls and fumbles. A 2nd quarter
series crystallized the entire game. With 1st down and goal and the ball on the half yard line, the Falcon's defensive line stopped the #1 team in the
State (according to power rankings) on two running plays only to have the North Pointe secondary give up a third down touchdown pass. The nearest

Game 5 vs Williams
Mistakes limited the Falcon's effort as Williams handed the Prep their third loss of the season, 32-11. North Pointe's first mistake actually took place
prior to kick off. For some unexplained reason, the Falcons were not aware that Williams (a 1A school) is only playing 8 man football this season.
