Falcons JV Moves to 2-0 with Shut Out over North Valley

In a physical, ugly game, the Elmira JV football team managed to out muscle a 6-0 win over visiting North Valley in a game that was originally scheduled to be played in Grants Pass but was moved Swartz Field due to excessive smoke in area.

Defense was the course of the day with both teams being plagued with turnovers... either on downs or by interceptions, capped by Ian Drago's interception with 42 seconds remaining in the game to seal the victory.  The defensive performance made Gavin Laing's 6 yard sweep for a touchdown stand up.  The win moves the Falcons' JV to 2-0 on the young season.
