Rochester, MI — Community energy and team spirit were at an all-time high following the pre-game Goldrush Tailgate to celebrate the crosstown rivalry between Rochester Adams and Rochester High. The Highlanders kick off to start the game and the coverage team swarms the returner with a group tackle led by Tait Picot, Matt Reed and Josh Vokal. The Falcons start with the ball from their own 23-yard line and get a short gain on first down as Rocco Orsini meets the ball carrier at the line of scrimmage. The Falcons complete a second-down pass for 8 yards and Parker Picot makes the tackle, setting up third and short. A four-yard run after a stop by Griffin Henke gives the Falcons a first and ten from the 36-yard line.
