Outlook for 2012: 
The Falcons 2012 team is very balanced with a great deal of senior leadership on both sides of the ball.  This team has demonstrated a great deal of determination and hard work as we look to achieve our goals as a team.
We are returning a large group of seniors that are focused on getting back to the District One playoffs while also trying to compete for the league championship against an always tough Suburban One National Conference and some very challenging non-league opponents.
