This favorite quote that did not make it into the paper is from Nick Bennett, a junior receiver for the Falcons.

Bennett had a lot of catches, including a 50-yard grab after slipping behind the Eagles’ secondary.

Ben Watanabe / The Record | Nick Bennett, a Falcon receiver, hauls in a deep pass from quarterback Nick French. This grab was good for 50 yards. The junor had a busy night. South Whidbey tried to rally from a seven-point deficit in the third quarter and stop Cedar Park Christian’s rush offense that used several running backs.

“Me and him (quarterback Nick French) know each other. And we always talk about throwing to each other because I’m one of the go-to receivers. I’ve got the speed, I’ve got the hands, and that’s how it works.”

Here’s another quote from French, the Falcons’ junior quarterback.

“Throw the ball more and get the ball out of my hands instead of running and taking sacks.”
