Falcons take flight

Football spectators heard the helicopter before they actually saw it touch down on the school’s practice field last week.

Each Friday at 11 p.m., WAVY News Channel 10 “Friday Night Flights” highlights high school football throughout Hampton Roads, choosing different conferences and venues to recognize. Last week, WAVY News Anchor Tom Schaad chose to focus on senior quarterback Cole Johnson, who will head to James Madison University next fall, and senior teammate Jake Herslow for their superior effort on the playing field.

The boys prevailed 38-17 against Kellam and hope to continue their winning streak. The team remains undefeated in the disctrict and hopes to move on to the 6A South Region competitions.

Another hardworking group of the school’s students were also featured on WAVY 10 News this weekend. Schaad, during Friday Night Flights, also interviewed the Falcon Press News students.

Students were asked to discuss sports journalism, the importance of high school news, and photography. Falcon Press was later commended by Schaad and the WAVY for their talent and expertise.
