Defenders take a water break. Cornerback Isaac Ly (jersey #2) comes back from the field after getting an interception. The score is 22-14, with the Gunter Tigers winning with five minutes remaining in the 4th quarter. “I was just trying to help the team since we were down,” said Ly.

Wide receiver Alexander Donnelly (jersey #5) catches the long ball on a go route. He will proceed to score this for a touchdown, making the score 14-10. “I’m just happy to put us in the lead”, replies Alexander Donnelly after being asked about his performance.

It is currently 3rd down and 15 yards until the next first down, so the Falcons will have to make a big play. Quarterback, David Capobianco (jersey #10), is prepared to snap the ball and hopes to move the ball up the field. It is the first drive of the 2nd half.

As the sun begins to set, the Falcons prepare to play defense. It is the end of the 1st quarter and the score is tied at 7-7. The stakes are high as Gunter has a 32 game winning streak. The coaches create a game plan to keep the other team from winning.

The Kinkaid Falcons face head to head against the Gunter Tigers in their own turf. Captains: Gavin Johnson (jersey #30), Cooper Chambers (jersey #3), Jordan Manuel (jersey #6), and Topher Carlson (jersey #55) meet in the middle of the field to decide their field position. “I was excited to play a tough team like Gunter,” said Cooper Chambers.
