Several of our opponents this year were first year high schools, and would be playing Varsity schedules next year. ln their first district game, the Falcons came up against Klein. As the Falcons went into half time, they led the Bearkats 22-lO. However, due to over confidence, on aggressive Klein, and full court passes, the Falcons were upset 34-52.
