LtoR: Caleb Jefferson, Andrew Warneke, Mark Sunderland & Austin Gray
The North Georgia Falcons had a very successful 2007 season. With seniors Caleb Jefferson, Austin Gray, Reggie Cherry and Jordan Whitmire, the Falcons had a winning record and made it to the playoffs for the 4th year in a row. Despite what was considered to be a rebuilding year back before the season started, the Falcons surprised everyone in the GFL by playing aggressive defense and a wide open offense. Running back Caleb Jefferson led the offense. QB Robert Davis led the team to victories in the first 3 games before an injury sidelined him until the last game of the season (playoffs). Tim Howard and Austin Gray took over the QB spot and were successful in leading the team. Andrew Warneke led the defense from his middle linebacker position. The Falcons played alot of players and were very young in age both on offense and defense. The Falcons middle school were unbeaten, so the future is bright for the Falcons. The 2008 Falcons should be formitable.
2007 GFL Playoffs
NCC 24 North Georgia 2
The Falcons finished the 2007 season in third place and were seeded #3 for the playoffs where they met the NCC Crusaders. The Falcons played a great first half with good defense and several good drives on offense. However, after a NCC punt that backed up the Falcons to the 10 yard line, Tim Howard's option pitch was fumbled and NCC recovered. A staunch Falcon's defense was able to hold NCC to a field goal instead of a touchdown. NCC led 3-0 early in the game. Both teams traded drives and punts with neither team able to score for the remainder of the first and all of the second quarter. Halftime score was NCC 3 North Georgia 0. NCC took the opening kickoff and drove the length of the field with RB Ryan Kleckley scoring on a run. Peter Yu kicked the extra point
and NCC led 10-0. Both teams moved the ball, but fumbles and penalties kept the Falcons from sustaining any drive. In the fourth quarter, a Robert Davis fumble gave NCC good field position. Kleckley ran thru 4 would-be Falcon tacklers on his way to a touchdown. Yu was good on the kick making the score 17-0. The last NCC score came after the Falcons had driven all the way down to the 8 yard line where a fumble was recovered by NCC. Several plays later, Kleckley pass to Jordan Barrett who outran the Falcon secondary for a 63 yard TD. Yu was again good on the extra point. NCC 24 Falcons 0. The Falcons were able to tackle Kleckley in the end zone late in the 4th quarter to make the final score NCC 24 North Georgia 2.

Crown 28 North Georgia 7
The Falcons stormed onto the field and marched down the field. A long pass by Tim Howard to Karter Brown looked like the Falcons would be first and goal on the 4 yard line, but a penalty took the ball back to the 45 yard line. On the next play, Crown intercepted and returned the ball to the 22. Crown then scored when Nick Pretty pass was caught by his favorite receiver in the end zone. Crown led 7-0 when the extra point kick was good. On the kickoff, the Falcons fumbled and Crown recovered. Crown immediately went to the air and scored again to go up 14-0. The Falcons were able to stop the Crown for the remainder of the half, but several drives by North Georgia were stalled by interceptions. Just before halftime, the Falcons went on a drive and Tim Howard was able to take it in from 8 yards. Reggie Cherry kick the extra point to make the score 14-7. The Falcons had the momentum going in to halftime. The Falcons kicked off to Crown to begin the second half and it looked good for the Falcons as they were able to pin Crown back for a 3rd and long, however, Crown ran a misdirection counter/reverse and the Falcons were unable to contain the runner. Crown had scored and had the momentum again as the score now was 21-7. The Falcons took the kickoff with David Ross returning the ball to midfield. With good running by Tim Howard and Caleb Jefferson, the Falcons marched down the field, however, a bad handoff resulted in a fumble and Crown recovered.

QB Tim Howard and RB Caleb Jefferson #22
Falcons survive East Atlanta 12-6
It was one of those games where the Falcons looked like they were in control going up 6-0 on Tim Howard's 5 yard run and then 12-0 when Howard returned an interception 94 yards on the next series of plays early in the 2nd quarter. It stayed that way until the 4th quarter
when the Mustangs connected on a Blake Jones to Joseph Hawkins pass for a score and suddenly it was 12-6. The Falcons could not move the ball as penalties snuffed out any gains that were made. East Atlanta had several chances, but couldn't capitalize. The Falcon defense played well again giving up just the one score.

Force narrowly defeats Falcons 12-0
The Falcons defense did a great job of stopping the potent Force offense, but the offense wasn't able to score on the formidable Force defense especially after QB Robert Davis was injured early in the second quarter. The Falcons threated to score in the first quarter by driving to the 20 yard line, however, a field goal by Davis fell short. The Falcon defense kept the Force stymied all night and it wasn't until midway thru the 3rd quarter that the Force were able to score. The big play in the drive was a Michael Francis to Blake Bowers pass that got the Force to the 10 yard line. On 4th down and goal from the 3, the Force elected to go for the touchdown and were successful when Michael France hit Blake Coughlin on a slant route for the touchdown to go up 6-0. The score stayed this way until 5:25 left in the game when Francis again hooked up with Bowers this time on a long pass for the touchdown. This made the score 12-0 and secured the victory for the Force. The Falcons defense had played a terrific game. The offense was plagued by several crucial penalties that negated a number of good plays. With Tim Howard and Austin Gray took over for Robert Davis after the injury and they did a good job of moving the ball for the Falcons, but time and time again penalties stopped a good drive and the Falcons were not able to score.

2006 North Georgia Falcons
The end of the 2006 season is also the end of the career of five seniors who helped start the Falcon football program. Josh Veal, Jordan McDaniel, Michael St.Denis, Dane Tadsen and Tim Famillette will always be remember with fond memories and for having been instramental in winning a national championship.
North Georgia Varsity JV/Middle School
The North Georgia Falcons concluded our 2006 season with an invitation to compete in the NACA National Football Tournament with the Varsity team playing in Division 3 and the JV/middle school team playing in the first NACA Jr. High Division. NACA stands for National Association of Christian Athletes.
The Falcons varsity played the first game against Mountain Empire Baptist from Bristol, Tn. and lost 40-8. The game was played in the mud and we committed many mistakes that gave the Mountaineers an easy win. We then played the Cabarrus Stallions from the Charlotte, NC area and won 66-54 in an exciting game that took almost 4 hours to play. In the final game of his high school career and on his birthday, Josh Veal scored 9 TDs (5 on runs, 2 on kick returns, 1 on a pass reception and 1 on a pass)and he also had a 2-point conversion. It was his best game ever. Josh was given the "Best Quarterback" award and made the NACA All-American team. This was the third year in a row that Josh was selected "Best Quarterback" and named to the NACA All-American team. Senior Michael St.Denis was selected to the NACA All-Tournament team for the third year in a row. Michael was also playing his last game of his career and scored a touchdown on a pass from Josh Veal. Robert Davis was given the "Best Kicker" award and made the NACA All-American team. Caleb Jefferson was selected to the NACA All-Tournament team. The Falcons finish earned them a third place trophy for the 2006 NACA Division 3 National Tournament. The Falcons won the 2005 NACA Division 4 Championship and were the 2nd place team for the 2004 NACA Division 4. The Falcons played without senior Jordan McDaniel, senior Dane Tadsen and senior Isaac Scheidt, which would have made a significant difference in the outcome. We will miss our seniors: Jordan McDaniel, Josh Veal, Michael St.Denis, Dane Tadsen and Isaac Scheidt.

The Falcons JV/middle school team competed in the NACA Jr High Division and lost 20-8 against the Springfield Chargers from Missouri. They also lost to the Asheville Saints from NC 28-8. It was a great experience for the "Falcons pups" as they played against true Jr. High teams while having more of a middle school team. Despite being smaller and younger, they put up a great fight and had great sportsmanship which both winning coaches expressed to the team after each game. A tribute to the type of character each of these boys possess.

North Georgia nips NCC 26-24
Friday, the 13th at first, appeared unlucky for the Falcons from North Georgia as on the opening kickoff, Jordan McDaniel, went down with a severe knee injury. McDaniel is one of the captains and plays middle linebacker and running back for the Falcons. In no time at all, the NCC Crusaders air assault struck quickly with touchdowns on their first two possessions to take a 12-0 lead on the passing of Ryan Singer, one touchdown pass was to Stephan Moore and the other to Josh Thompson. The Falcons then drove down the field and a Josh Veal to Robert Davis touchdown made it 12-6 in favor of NCC. Another Ryan Singer pass, this time to Jordan Taylor, led to a touchdown and NCC was up 18-6. NCC again drove the field, however, Caleb Jefferson intercepted a pass in the end zone and the Falcons had new life. A few minutes later, Josh Veal's pass to Isaac Scheidt in the end zone cut the lead to 18-12 at the half.
Both teams moved the ball up and down the field, but neither could score in the third quarter. With 11:10 in the fourth quarter, the Falcons again scored on a Josh Veal pass to Isaac Scheidt to tie the score. This time Robert Davis was good on the extra point kick and the Falcons led for the first time 19-18. On the next possession NCC looked like they would take back the lead as they drove down the field, however, Josh Veal recovered a fumble at the 2 yard line to stop the drive. On the next play, Veal rambled 78 yards and set up another touchdown pass. This time the score came on a Josh Veal to Michael St.Denis pass to make it 25-18. Robert Davis added the extra point kick and the Falcons led 26-18. NCC wasn't done yet as Ryan Singer pass to Miles Hammond in the end zone made the score 26-24 and set up a 2-pt attempt by NCC. Ryan Singer's attempt to make it into the end zone fell short. NCC had one last possession and they were able to drive into Falcon territory, but they came up short and the Falcons won 26-24 in one of the most exciting game of the season. The Falcons improved their record to 6-2
With God, there is no such thing as luck or unlucky, but there are such things as miracles! Turns out Jordan McDaniel did injure his knee, but miraclulously, there are no torn ligaments as originally suspected.
