Up from trie ashes, they rise. Alforiso Gutierrez Sports Editor

Up from the ashes of a heartbreaking 35-3 loss to the Palomar Comets, the Falcon football team has risen to impressive heights, outscoring their opponents 100-10. The team's most recent vic­ tory was a rout versus the Golden West Rustlers. The Falcons left the Golden West campus, leaving the Rustlers with a 53-0 loss on their record. The Rustlers hosted the Falcons, but it was the Falcons that served up seven touch­ downs, one field goal and topped it off with a safety. The Falcons opened the scoring with starting quarter­ back Ryan Matthews tossing a 7 yard touchdown pass to No. 3, wide receiver Touraj Houshmandzadeh, with less than five minutes remaining in the first quarter. Before the first quarter ended, the Falcons managed to add three points to their score with a 36 yard field goal by kicker Gerrit yttecht.
