FOXBURG - Through the first four games, A-C Valley had trouble getting into the end zone.

On Friday night, it didn't seem like the Falcons were going to stay out.

The Falcons offense scored three touchdowns and held off Union, 26-13.

Falcons quarterback Brad Rembold was responsible for two of the scores and accounted for 88 total yards.

With 2:13 left in the first quarter, Rembold ran a quarterback keeper around right end and raced 76 yards for the score.

"(Rembold) probably should have been tackled, but he is a big, strong boy," said A-C Valley coach Randy Lemmon. "I know he is our quarterback, but I don't have any problem with him running it."

The Falcons (1-4, 1-3) added another score with 8:14 left in the second quarter when the Falcons blocked a punt into the end zone that was recovered by Jared Burrows for the score.

Union (0-5,0-5) answered on the ensuing drive by marching 53 yards in nine plays.

Running back Colton Davis capped the drive when he burst through the A-C Valley defense for a 6-yard touchdown run.

Davis had 87 yards on 18 carries.

"Everybody keys on Colton," said Union coach Tom Kidder. "He gives everything he can out there."

The Falcons scored again three plays later when Rembold threw a screen pass to Rocco Crapis, who raced 38 yards to give A-C Valley a 19-7 edge.

However, Union wouldn't go away.

With no time left in the first half, Knights quarterback Toby Painter threw a 33-yard touchdown strike to Nate Boltz.

Boltz caught the ball at the 10-yard line and darted away from three A-C Valley defenders on the way to the end zone.

"(Boltz) is an all-conference defensive back and we leave him on offense and he gave us everything," said Kidder. "He's a playmaker, and he'll be back next year."

Both teams had drives that stalled deep in enemy territory to open the second half.

The Knights' first drive of the second half came to a halt at the A-C Valley 16-yard line when Painter was stopped on fourth-and 1.

The Falcons drove to the Union 13-yard line on the ensuing drive, but Crapis mishandled the pitch from Rembold and Davis fell on the loose ball.

The Knights were forced to punt from their own 25-yard line before the Falcons' Adam Bell came crashing through the line to block the punt and Burrows recovered his second blocked punt of the night at the Union 1-yard line.

Crapis punched it in on the next play from scrimmage, giving the Falcons a 26-13 advantage.

"We really didn't do anything different this week," said Lemmon. "We started out playing Clarion, C-L, Moniteau, and we are not in that league."

With the loss, Union dropped its 27th consecutive game.

"I think we gave it away. I don't really think they beat us, I think we gave it to them. We have been our own worst enemy all year long," said Kidder.
