PRE GAME

On Friday, September 21st the (1-3) MAC White Falcons took on the (0-4) MAC Blue Fraser Ramblers at Runkel field for Ford’s second home game of the season. The Falcons’ student section, “The Nest,” was decked out in all black as the theme for the night was blackout, in hopes that would be how the Ramblers left the stadium that night, and in exception of the opening drive that’s pretty much how the Ramblers exited.

14-8; Kirkwood hooks up with Thompson for their 2nd touchdown of the game on a 4 yard pass.
