As Meat loaf once said "2 Outta 3 Ain't Bad" and in this case it is Championships. The Falcons had another great season this year, extending their win streak to 76 in the WCAC, Winning the WCAC Championship for the 4th straight season and Finishing 2nd in the City Championships. Most coaches, players and fans would say that is great and start preparing for next season, not the Falcons as they continued their quest for their 4th MD/DC Private School Championship.
