Falcons Cruise; Wildcats Not Enough

The River Falls Falcons won their homecoming yesterday in dramatic fashion including tw0 80+ yard interception returns for touchdowns. Senior Safety Ben Arata intercepted a pass in the second quarter and took it 99-yards to the house for the longest touchdown in school history. Then in the fourth quarter defensive end Steve Marich scored on a 81-yard interception return. The Falcon offense was led by Taylor Edwards who carried the ball 30 times for 251-yards and 2 TDs. The Falcons won their 5th straight homecoming by a score of 40-27 over Alma College. Up next the Falcons will head to Menomonie in the 95th edition of the I-94 battle Saturday @ Stout in their homcoming.

The Wildcats dropped their homcoming Friday night, their 3rd straight loss, virtually dashing all hopes of making the post-season. The Cats gave it a late run, scoring a touchdown and threatening for another before Chippewa Falls' defense was able to make a late stand to win 27-21. The Wildcats now must win out if they hope to make the playoffs.

Tune into Just A Bit Outside Mondays from 3-5 on 88.7 WRFW.
