Its been very successful ride for the seniors on the Poolesville High School football team. <\/p>\n
Theyve enjoyed three straight playoff appearances as they brought the program back to respectability. Down the road, they said, they will dwell on that rather than Friday nights rocky ending. <\/p>\n
The Falcons were done in by several mistakes, as well as Libertys talent at home in a 37-7 loss in the 2A West Region semifinals. <\/p>\n
I think they were just a little better than us tonight, Falcons coach Will Gant said. I really feel disappointed in myself. I didnt get my kids quite ready to go this week. I dont know what we were missing, it just wasnt our night. <\/p>\n
The Falcons (7-4) lost three turnovers, suffered a safety, dropped an interception and failed repeatedly to stop Liberty (8-3) on third down. <\/p>\n
We didnt execute, including myself, senior quarterback Steven Morningstar said. Just didnt perform to the best of our abilities tonight and they did. Thats why they won. <\/p>\n
Poolesville was outgained 341-144 unofficially by the Lions. <\/p>\n
Liberty running back Ryan Scheufele ran for three touchdowns and caught one of two scoring pass by quarterback Austin Bode, who ran for 106 yards. <\/p>\n
The Falcons only touchdown came on special teams. <\/p>\n
They play an aggressive defense. Theyre moving around and blitzing and its hard to pick up where theyre going to be. Gant said. We spent a lot of time preparing for it. Thought we had a good plan for it, and obviously we didnt. <\/p>\n
