Flowery Branch got on track Friday night, and in a big way. The Falcons (1-2, 1-0 Region 8-AAAAA) used a dominating first-half performance, fueled by their running attack, and countered almost every big play Cedar Shoals (0-3, 0-1) threw their way in the second half, earning a 39-25 win in front of their home crowd. “I’m pleased with the overall team effort and how we responded to a little bit of adversity,” Flowery Branch coach Chris Griffin said.
