Falcons Light Up Homecoming Night in 49-24 Region Win

Central gave the Homecoming crowd plenty to celebrate, exploding offensively in a 49-24 win over Brookwood at Falcon Field. The victory moved the Falcons to 3-0 and gave Central its first region win of the season.

Brookwood struck first on a 35-yard touchdown pass, but Central answered almost immediately. Armani White found Jarvis Woods for a 63-yard touchdown, and after the Falcon defense recovered a Panther fumble deep in Brookwood territory, Tra’Von Hall punched in an 11-yard score to give Central a 14-7 lead. Brookwood tied the game early in the second quarter, but the Falcons quickly took control from there.

White and Woods connected again, this time for a 65-yard touchdown, before another Brookwood turnover put Central right back in scoring position. Anthony Dixon capitalized with a 23-yard touchdown run, and the Falcons continued pouring it on. James Freeman added a rushing touchdown, while Dixon later broke loose for 60 yards to the one-yard line, setting up a score by Nathan Richardson. Central scored on seven of its eight first-half offensive possessions and carried a commanding lead into halftime.

Woods finished with 146 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while Dixon rushed for 83 yards and two scores. Altogether, Central piled up 474 yards of offense, its highest total since last September.

With the game firmly in hand, both teams turned to their reserves in the second half and the clock continued to run. When the final horn sounded, Central had secured a convincing 49-24 Homecoming victory and remained unbeaten through three weeks.

Homecoming won. Region play opened 1-0. The Falcons moved to 3-0.

Falcons Battle Hillcrest, Shift Focus to Rivalry Week

Central’s unbeaten start came to an end Friday night as the Falcons fell 53-13 to Hillcrest-Tuscaloosa, moving to 3-1 on the season. Facing one of the top-ranked teams in the state, Central was challenged early and never quite found the offensive rhythm that fueled its strong opening stretch.

Hillcrest was able to create separation behind a balanced offensive attack, while its defense made things difficult for a Central offense that had scored 91 points over the previous two games. The Falcons were unable to consistently sustain drives, and a pair of interceptions helped the Patriots keep momentum on their side.

Even on a difficult night, James Freeman gave Central plenty of fight. Freeman accounted for both Falcon touchdowns, including an explosive 95-yard kickoff return for a score that provided one of the biggest highlights of the night. He also found the end zone on the ground and finished with 65 rushing yards on seven carries, while adding 112 yards on two kickoff returns.

The final score does not erase the strong start Central has put together through the first four weeks. The Falcons opened the season with three consecutive wins, including back-to-back 40-plus-point performances, and have already shown the ability to create explosive plays on offense, force turnovers defensively, and respond when challenged.

Now, the attention shifts quickly to one of the most anticipated games on the schedule. Central returns to Falcon Field this week to face cross-town rival Paul W. Bryant in another important region matchup.

At 3-1, the Falcons still have plenty in front of them—and there may be no better opportunity to bounce back than Rivalry Week at home.

James Freeman - Overall

Freeman produced 81 total yards, including a team-high 65 rushing yards on 8 carries for 8.1 yards per carry, plus a 16-yard reception.

Falcons Soar Past Bryant

Central put together one of its most complete performances of the season at Falcon Field, defeating Paul W. Bryant 47–20 with contributions coming from every phase of the game. The Falcons set the tone early and continued to create explosive plays throughout the night, using a balanced offensive attack and timely defensive plays to keep control of the matchup.

Tra’Von Hall opened the scoring with a 15-yard touchdown run, while Nathan Richardson added another score on the ground. Anthony Dixon provided one of the biggest offensive highlights of the night when he broke loose for a 62-yard rushing touchdown, and just before halftime, Armani White connected with Hall for a 60-yard touchdown pass to give the Falcons even more momentum heading into the break.

Central continued to find ways to make plays in the second half. White connected with Dixon for another touchdown through the air, while the defense made its presence felt in a major way late in the game. Jaelon Bramlett returned an interception 65 yards for a touchdown, and shortly after, Jaden Taylor scooped up a fumble and raced 85 yards for another defensive score. Those back-to-back defensive touchdowns helped put the finishing touches on an impressive night for the Falcons.

The victory moved Central to 4–1 on the season and extended the Falcons’ home winning streak to five games dating back to last season. With explosive offense, opportunistic defense, and big plays across the field, Central showed its ability to respond, stay composed, and finish strong.

The Falcons will now use the upcoming break to prepare for their next challenge against Bessemer City on October 2.

Tra'Von Hall - Overall

Hall finished with 122 all-purpose yards and 2 touchdowns, rushing for 43 yards and a score while catching 5 passes for 79 yards and another touchdown. He made an impact both on the ground and through the air.
