“This was a great team win,” coach Bo Highburger told Falcon News.
“It was a good game,” Buckland said. “But there are a few things I think our team could do better in the next game against La Pine.”
The Friday night game had a Pink Out theme, with EHS students showing their spirit.
The Falcons get ready to go over the mountains this week to play league opponent La Pine at 7 PM. The next game at home will be vs. Harrisburg with senior night and homecoming on October 20th at 7 PM.
