Week 1 - Game Summary

Rochester was solid on both sides of the ball, especially in the trenches, as the Falcons recorded their first shutout since 2002 with a 28-0 win over L'anse Creuse North. 

Rochester set the tone early as Junior Cody DeVoe capped the opening drive with a 20-yard TD Run to give the Falcons a 7-0 lead 2 minutes in.  Early in the 2nd Quarter Rochester Junior Kurt Apostol recovered a LCN fumble at midfield.  The Falcons would cash in on the turnover as Senior Diego Camp would plunge in from 2-yards out for a 14-0 lead.  It appeared that the half would end at 14-0 as Rochester found itself deep in its own zone with 1 minute left in the half and facing a 3rd and long.  However Senior QB Nick Bradley connected with Senior Mike Kmiec for a key first down.  Two plays later Bradley found Senior Luca Cutraro for a 40-yard TD pass with 50 seconds lef in the half for a 21-0 Falcon lead.

In the 2nd half the Defense took over for Rochester forcing 3 turnovers and keeping LCN off the board.  After Falcon Junior Lawrence Walls recovered a fumble midway through the 3rd, Bradley and Cutraro hooked up one more time from 8-yards out to finish the scoring.  Junior TJ Dean was 4-4 on extra points.  Senior Billy Klotz picked off 2 passes for the Falcons while Seniors Grant Chenoweth, Marcel Johnson and Nick Reed had solid games for the defense.

Rochester moves to 1-0 on the season.  The Falcons will next host Lake Orion in their Home and League Opener next Friday at 7:00pm
