The Coquitlam Falcons put another notch in the win column last Sunday when the midget football team took down the Victoria Spartans at Mackin Park.
After going scoreless during the first 15 minutes, quarterback Andrew Flett connected on a pass to receiver Jordan Lund, who made his way to the end zone for a combined 90-yard play. The convert was good, which gave the Falcons a 7-0 lead.
Coquitlam’s defence stayed strong for two possessions by Victoria, when Nathan Quon intercepted a pass to get the ball back for the home team.
Flett and Xavion Fleary had a couple of runs to bring the ball into the Spartans’ red zone, where Dade Motz punched in a touchdown to put his team up 14-0.
Penalties marred the second half of the game and neither team was able to get much momentum, but that did not stop Coquitlam from finding a way to score.
After Victoria blocked a field goal, Flett was able run in the ball on a quarterback keeper from the five yard line. The missed convert gave Coquitlam a 20-0 lead by the end of the fourth quarter.
The Falcons will now get ready to take on Cowichan next week at Mackin Park in Coquitlam.
