Falcons blank Trojans 34-0
Finish out season at 6-4
The Frankfort Falcons ended their season with a big win over the
Hampshire Trojans on a beautiful fall night in Romney. Unfortunately
the stars that govern the playoff points did not align and the Falcons
were left just outside of the 16 team selection. Congratulations to the
Falcons and first-year head coach Kevin Whiteman on a great season. In
the photo above, Frankfort blockers Roger Ryan
(56) and Shawn Gillespie (24) give quarterback James Jones time to complete
a pass in the first half.

Keyser wallops Frankfort
Tornado goes undefeated with 61-8 victory
The Keyser Golden Tornado delivered a knock-out punch to the
Frankfort Falcons in the 2008 Mineral Bowl on Halloween night at Frankfort
Stadium in Short Gap. Scoring early and often, Keyser turned the game into a
no-contest by the end of the first half. The Falcons played hard and even
had some success catching the Keyser backs behind the line on several
occasions, but the Tornado speed and execution were overwhelming. Keyser
went into the game, their final contest in a 9-game season, with a number 1
rating in the WVSSAC AA playoff standings. The Falcons will close out their
season at Hampshire this Friday. A win there--and it certainly should be a
win--might well move Frankfort into the 16th playoff spot. A big
"thank you" to both teams--players, coaches, and fans-- for providing
another great game in this the 33rd year of a fine Mineral County tradition.

Falcons pound Vikings
Move into 13th place with 55-0 victory
Frankfort Falcon running back Christian Brown takes advantage of a
block by Jake Shingle to pick up some yardage against the Petersburg
Vikings. Frankfort's record improved to 5-2 with the 55-0 thrashing of
Petersburg, good enough to move into the thirteenth spot in the WVSSAC
playoff standings. Tougher opponents lay ahead, with Allegany coming to
Falcon Stadium for the homecoming game on Oct. 24 and Keyser making
the cross-county trip the week after. A win over Alco would carry a
lot of points and would certainly move the Falcons up in the ratings,
setting the stage for a huge Mineral Bowl game. Click the links to

Fort
Hill coming to town
The sofas in the locker room at Stayman Field lend a unique
flavor to that facility. Cast off years ago from someone's living room
redecoration project, these davenports offer a relaxing recline. Sit back.
Rest your tired bones. Eat some cheese curls and watch Sponge Bob. "Hey!
What are you talking? There's no slack here! Get your game on! We're gonna
burn some couches!" Keyser seniors, pictured above, will be playing
their first home game of the season against Fort Hill on Friday night, Sept
12. You can bet the Tornado won't be taking it easy on the sofa.
Keyser
blanks Moorefield
Hartman throws 3 TD passes, runs for another
Keyser scored on its first five possessions, and the
defense was just as impressive as the Golden Tornado collected a convincing
41-0 victory over Moorefield in its season opener Friday in Moorefield.
Preston Hartman rushed for 109 yards including a 70-yard touchdown run
and threw for 158 more. The senior quarterback hit 7-of-9 passes with three
touchdown strikes. Back-up quarterback John Purdy caught two of
Hartman's TD passes and Matt Wilmer pulled in another. Wilmer also hit pay
dirt on a 1-yard plunge into the end zone. The other touchdown came as
running back Chris Brown put 6-points on the board with an 11-yard
run.
