Fitch's athletic director Russell Houser mentioned that tonight’s scoring output was the most in program history; breaking the old mark that was 68 against Marion Harding in 2012.
From the opening kickoff, the Falcons' offense racked up 26 first downs and 584 yards of total offense.
The story of the night was a relentless ground attack and their three-headed monster in the backfield, with three different ball carriers clearing the 80-yard mark. Najeh Sam spearheaded the charge by leading the team with 118 yards. Deon’Dray Richard put on a show of his own, powering his way to 90 yards. Dyionn Tutwiler put the finishing touches on the ground game with 80 yards as well.
When the Falcons chose to attack through the air, quarterback Collin Kalaher completed a 9 of 11 passes for 195 yards and three touchdowns. Two of those scoring strikes landed into the arms of wideout Antwan Williams Jr.
Fitch’s defense allowed the Golden Tornadoes to earn just 6 first downs as they were held to 111 total yards on 39 plays from scrimmage.
With three straight wins in their back pocket, the Falcons will look to keep the momentum rolling as they return to action at home against Erie next Friday night.
