Prognosis (quick summary of what we expect this season: “While the 2012 squad has only four seniors, the team is stacked with young athletic talent and a number of players looking to prove themselves in the SCVAL,” coach Eric Wong said. “A handful of returning attackers and a young midfield will help the Falcons dictate the tempo with a varied offensive attack while the defense will control possession with an aggressive, physical, and disciplined style of play.
