Coming into the season, the Falcons were favorites in the SPC 3A division, after making the playoffs in 2015. The Falcons had a strong offseason, entering the season with an injuryfree starting lineup. Head Coach Frank Gendusa scheduled the Falcons a challenging game to begin their season: the 2015 TAPPS Football Champions, the Fort Worth Christian (FWC) Cardinals.

The final score was FWC 28, FWCD 18. Continued page 2
