Falcons Fall in Triple OT Thriller
In a triple over-time defeat the Falcons were led by Dante Brye with 16 pts and Matt Hardnick with 13 points.  The Falcons flew back into the game with a huge 3rd quarter to take a 2 point advantage into the 4th quarter.  Rhodes evened the game up and took it to the first overtime.  Rhodes decided in all three overtimes not to initiate their offense and chose to slow the game down, shutting down the hot Lutheran East offense. Once again the falcon defense stymied the opponent but 26 turnovers is what decided the game.  Rhodes outscored Lutheran East by 5 in the last overtime to win the game 55-50.
