"And the winners were" (l-r) seniors Geoff Byers, Matt Schneider, Walker Bohannan and anchor Ryan Toomey, who kicked past the Seton anchor for the victory. Sophomore Joree Schneider unselfishly sat out, so that Matt Schneider could appropriately make it an all-senior relay team. Joree will be flyin' again this fall for the Football Falcons!
