​In 2016 the EEDA Falcons took back the first place trophy! What a season! We played the Titans in the championship game. They have been undefeated for two years, and we battled them for a huge win! Our coaches worked really hard this year on bringing the team together to play as one, and they accomplished just that! Great job coaches Krystal and Sean! A very big congrats to all of our players for all of their efforts and hard work, Chris M, Paul D, Steven B, GianCarlo G, Matthew S, Hashim R, Erin B, Jamison, Nick H, Susan G, Courtney M, Jamey G, Matthew L, and Matt S.
