Robert Drake Leads Football to a Win in Home Opener
The Falcons opened their 2014 home schedule with a big win over Collinwood Saturday afternoon. Senior Robert Drake continued his strong play. Robert rushed for more than 200 yards and finished the day with 3 touchdowns. He had two touchdowns in the first quarter as the Falcons ran out to a 13-0 lead.
From there, the offense stalled as a turnovers killed a few drives. The defense, however, shut the Collinwood offense down and never let them find the end zone. Defensive end Karlton Pickens tallied 6 sacks on the day, leading the defensive line in an impressive show. Robert Drake showed great hands and good coverage skills as he picked off 3 Collinwood passes en route the the rare 3td/3int day!
The 1-1 Falcons host Whitney Young at 2pm on Saturday 9/13.
