"They won the game handily," said Fallbrook coach Tony Morrow. Fallbrook didn't win the league championship outright, as Ramona matched Fallbrook's 7-1 league record. Each team handed the other it's only league loss of 2016-2017. A Jan. 24 game in Ramona had a 59-54 result in Ramona's favor, while a Feb. 10 game in Fallbrook resulted in a 54-45 victory for...
A pair of big plays – one offensively and the other defensively – by Del Norte High School proved to be the difference in the Nighthawks’ 20-13 victory over Fallbrook High School in a non-league football game Sept. 2 at Fallbrook Stadium. Del Norte’s offensive strike came during its second possession of the game – a possession the Nighthawks had to start inside its own 5 yard line thanks to a great punt by Fallbrook’s Joe Bishop. On the third play of the possession,...
Last year Fallbrook High School's baseball team won 22 games, which brought respect to the Warriors' program. That has caused opposing coaches to use their top pitchers against Fallbrook this year. "We're getting everybody's #1. They're throwing their #1 pitcher against us every game," said Fallbrook coach Pat Walker. Five games in the Falcon-Pirate Classic tournament began the Warriors' season. Opening Day was March 5 at home against Murrieta Mesa, and the Warriors were on the losing end of the 14-2 final score. "We got kill...

We had a couple of DQs in our favor, so that helped a little bit," said Fallbrook coach Sean Redmond. The Del Norte disqualification in the 200-yard freestyle relay, which is the eighth of the 11 events, increased the Fallbrook points lead from two to eight. Fallbrook had an 80-76 lead prior to taking the first-place points in the...

After Fallbrook High School's baseball team won its first two CIF playoff games, the Warriors needed only one win in the double-elimination tournament to reach the Division III final. Two losses, both to a Del Norte team the Warriors defeated in the second playoff contest, ended Fallbrook's season one game short of the CIF championship match. "We were on a good roll," said Fallbrook coach Patrick Walker. The first of those two losses to Del Norte ended an eight-game win streak for the Warriors, which was the longest for the...
