Sport: Football

The performance: The senior quarterback led pass-happy Honokaa on Friday, amassing 442 yards through the air in a 24-16 loss at home to Kealakehe.

Falk was harassed all night long by Kealakehe’s defensinve line, be he still managed to come up with one big play after another – it was almost enough. On the last play of the game, Falk came up 2 yards short of a touchdown.

Falk is quickly developing chemistry with wide receiver Jonathan Charbonneau, who hauled in seven catches for 202 yards and two touchdowns.
