The Falcons took their first lead with just under 4:01 remaining on a 3-yard touchdown run by Brysen Kolar. They went for two and didn’t get it, setting up the Raiders for the game winner. East Sac took over and slowly marched down the field. They faced a 4th and 23 and looked to be in trouble. Tate Lahr found Charlie Veit, starting a double pass. Veit hit Bradyn Burns down the field to the Falcons 18-yard line, gaining 32-yards. East Sac talked with Luke Wright about where he wanted the ball placed and they handed it to Charlie Veit to set up the kick. Wright calmly booted the field goal from 35-yard yards, making it with 0:04 remaining, putting the Raiders up 13-12. The defense made a stop on the Falcons only play, earning a hard fought win.
