French Field, October 13th, 2011.
The seventh ranked Kentlake Falcons(7-0, 7-0) managed to stay undefeated Thursday night with a 10-7 win over the Auburn Trojans(2-4, 2-5). While it may not have been the best win of the season, it was done in what is becoming typical Kentlake fashion... From behind. In 5 of 7 games this season, including 4 straight, the Falcons have trailed at one point in the game before eventually winning.
The games first touchdown was scored when Kentlake Quarterback, Steffin Church couldn't complete a swing pass that was ruled a backwards pass and a live ball. Auburn Cornerback, Seth Mizoguchi would pick the ball up and sprint 63 yards down the sideline for the TD.
Auburn held a 7-0 lead at the end of the first quarter as they looked to extend a six game winning streak over the Falcons.
With just over four and a half minutes to play in the first half, Caleb Saulo would fake a hand off and keep it himself before powering into the endzone from one yard out. The score would tie the game at seven and it would stay that way into the half.
The third quarter looked as though it end with only three punts before Kentlake Lineback, Tanner Lucas intercepted his second pass of the night. Lucas would return the Auburn 48 with 21 seconds to play in the quarter.
The Falcons would run 14 plays and eat up 6:28 of the clock before settling for a 23 yard Field Goal by Mitchell Habryle.
With almost 6 minutes still to play the Trojans would get the ball back on their own 29 and begin to drive, but an untimely false start on fourth and four would force them to punt. They Trojans would not see the ball again as the Falcons would get a big third down conversion, a Tanner Lucas 35 yard run and a victory formation.

Notes:
- It was Kentlake's "Pink Out" to raise awarness for breast cancer. Fans wore pink, players used pink tape and towels.
- Kentlake was penalized 8 times for 50 yards.
- I would like to point out the play of Auburn Cornerback, Josh McCoy. I am not sure how many tackles McCoy finished with, but I don't think anyone had as many "Big" tackles as he did. Twice on one drive McCoy would make an openfield tackle on a Falcon ballcarrier behind the line of scrimmage.

Up Next:
Next Thursday the Kentlake Falcons are again home, this time in a non-league game against the Emerald Ridge Jaguars of the SPSL 4A South.
Next Friday the Auburn Trojans head home to host the Kent-Meridian Royals.
