| Captain Anthony Sama ran for 108 yds and Jordan Rodriguez
ran for 77 yds and 3 TDs but it wasn't enough as the Falcons lost
a heart breaker 29-26 with 24 seconds left in the Semi-Finals. Sophomore
Trevor Ellam carried 3 times for 81 yds and 1 TD as the Falcons

quit and was one of the hardest working teams in Wagner History.
Great job by the Captains all year- Anthony Sama, Vincent Urkonis
and Thomas Lotito. It was also a great year for all the seniors,
most of who were 3 year Varsity Players. |
