Oceanside CA- The North County Cobras beat the Los Angeles Falcons, Saturday night,17-6 at Simcox Field to remain undefeated.

The extra point was blocked leaving the score 6-0. The game was marred by penalties, miscues and missed opportunities until the Cobras got on the board with a 20 yard field goal with 6 minutes remaining in the first half. The Falcons drove the length of the field on their next possession but an interception in the end zone by strong-safety, Chancey Dariso ended the drive.

The officials flag fest continued in the second half with both teams getting untimely, drive killing penalties. The Cobras had several missed opportunities with dropped interceptions and were unable to capitalize on Falcon turnovers in a scoreless third quarter.
A 46 yard run on an end around by Cobra wide-receiver, Dre Alexander, kept alive a fourth quarter scoring drive that was capped by Ivory Heard’s a 14 yard touchdown run. Three minutes left in the 4th quarter, Cobra line-backer James Ewing made an interception that sparked the Cobras second touchdown drive of the night, a three yard touchdown run by Ramell Watts with 17 seconds left in the game.
