La Salle Falcons Football 31-21 Gresham

La Salle's football team opened league play with a statement, defeating Gresham 31-21 on the road Friday night. The Falcons, based in Milwaukie, Oregon, made the trip to Gresham and came away with a convincing victory that improves their overall record to 8-1 on the season. With the win, La Salle also moves to 1-0 in league play, a strong start as the postseason picture begins to take shape. The Falcons carried momentum into Friday's game having already built one of the best records in the Portland Metro area, and they showed no signs of slowing down against the Graplers. Gresham kept it competitive into the second half, cutting into the La Salle lead at various points, but the Falcons had enough answers when it mattered most to secure the 10-point win. La Salle will look to build on this conference-opening victory next week as league competition intensifies heading toward the playoffs.
