The Rams defeated the Falcons 22-17. The Rams stopped the Falcons first drive on 4th down. Ryan Roller connected with Griffen Carter for the early 7-0 lead. Brayden Decristifario pushed the lead to 13-0 with 55-60 yard touchdown run. The Falcons took to the air with a long touchdown pass to Ben Walter's. The teams traded possessions until Strasburg kicked a fg to take a 16-7 lead. The Falcons punched it in from the 1 right before halftime to make 16-14 at the half.
Central held the Rams on the first drive of the second half. Centrals drive stalled and Retrosi boomed a 48 fg to give the Falcons a 17-16 lead. That fg was a school record for Retrosi. The Rams mounted one more drive facing a 4th and 11 Roller found Coates for a 27 yard td pass to put the Rams up 22-17. Central had one more chance but got stopped on 4th down. With the Rams facing 3rd and 11 Coates took a hand off and ran through Falcon defenders for a 1st down to secure the win. Great football game tonight. For the Rams defense Colby Shaw and Omari Holliday led the charge and set the tone early in the game.
The Rams are the Bull Run District and Shenandoah county Champs. I believe they are the 1 seed in the Region playoffs.
