Unexpected and tough loss brings Falcons' season to a close

Albany high flag football players start the sectional championship game.

The inaugural Albany High School flag football team ended its season 12-2 after a heartbreaking loss in the Division 1, Section 2 championship game Wednesday evening.

The #1 seeded Falcons fell to Columbia 34-12 at Troy High.

Congratulations to Coach Decky Lawson, Coach Rachel Swann and every single player on the team who wowed fans each time they took the turf and, most importantly, worked so hard and made HERstory this season.

We are all SO proud of you.
