The Torrey Pines Falcons exacted a measure of revenge by beating the Santa Fe Christian Eagles 35-17. The Falcons were stunned last year by SFC, when the Eagles beat TP 31-0 in the second game of the season.

This time around the Falcons used a balanced attack led by Mac Bingham who finished the game with 3 touchdowns and 150 yards on the ground. Sully O’Brian also got into the end zone for the Falcons, when he gathered in the 52-yard pass from Jason Hines as the Falcons pulled away from SFC in the second half of the games.

Torrey Pines will starts a tough stretch in their schedule as they’ll play four straight games on the road. Next Friday they make the long drive north to take on the Fallbrook Warriors.
