Save five points for Varsity!
At Falcon Stadium, Thursday evening, Sept. 26, Head Coach Spencer Grace’s JVs laid the wood to PV, 34-0. Too bad they couldn’t have “banked” five points for Varsity the next night. Bad joke! (Standing, l-r) Joey Murphy (ORT), Toryn Holm (ORG), Kyle Hajek (C), Dylan Hasse (OLG), Alex Fisher (OL), Cody Fisher (OL/DL). Scorers, with TDs in parentheses, (kneeling, l-r) were Cruz Baciewicz (3), Connor Folts (1) and Preston Holding (1). Keep on flyin’, JuniorBirds!
Honoring our National Anthem
When junior Cassie Poincelot sings our National Anthem before a CSHS athletic event (like Volleyball vs. Saguaro, Sept. 26), you are unknowingly privileged to hear it performed as Francis Scott Key wrote it! Often the most abused piece of our National music, Cassie sings it stirringly at a proud and dignified tempo. Hip-Hoppers need not apply. Same for those artists, many of them famous, who bungle the words and/or put you to sleep! Cassie, daughter of Vanessa Shapiro and Richard Poincelot, is a member of Cactus Shadows’ Honors Choir and both a flutist and mellophone player in the Falcon Pride Marching Band. Congratulations, Cassie. You are a very talented young musician.
Baby Birds post 43-0 shutout!
At Paradise Valley, Wednesday evening, Sept. 25, Head Coach Jerry Cumberland’s Baby Falcons shutout the Trojan Frosh, 43-0. (Standing l-r) Harrison Bryant, Brad Souva, Nathan Brockman, Bam Larson, Jose Vilar; front row: Joe Kohlman (9th, 10th & 11th touchdowns!!), Tyler Kirby, Paul Hampsch and Mikey Leonard (scored on last play!). Nice work, Baby Birds!
