Runnig backs/defensive backs Marcus Rawls, and Quadir Franklin both sat out the fourth quarter leaving the Mighty Flashes with little outside speed at both running back and conrner. The Falcons took advantage of both, effectively shutting down the inside running game of the Flashes and exploting the corners with their passing game as they ran off 10 points in the last half of the quarter to seal the victory | |

On the brighter side; the "Mighty Flashes" are still in the hunt for a share of the Freedom Division title and a playoff spot in the CJ-1 tournament. A win against Divison leading Palmyra next week would put the "Might Flashes in a three way tie with the Panthers and City at 4-1 with the season final for all three team pitting the "Mighty Flashes: against Riverside and Palmyra facing City. The winners would then be division co champions. Considering the fact that Palmyra defeated us last year, it's a good bet that the "Mighty Flashes" will really be up for that one (just like we were when we lost to Holy Cross). Also a win against Palmyra is almost assuredly necessary in orde to gain a berth in the NJSIAA torunament. As it stands now Florence holds the eigth and final spot but are only three power points ahead of the number nine team. A loss would probably knock us out of the playoffs and I'm sure the "Mighty Flashes" don't want that to happen |
