Unable to find the endzone over the last three quarters, Holley dropped a 38-12 decision to visiting CG Finney this afternoon in the Hawks 11 Man football home opener.
Holley grabbed a 12-8 first quarter lead as quarterback Kevin Robinson ran for a pair of touchdowns on carries of 5 and 41 yards. He also hooked up with Landyn Burch for a 40 yard pass completion to key the first scoring drive.
However, the final 30 points and the win belonged to Finney as Holley was stymied by a rash of penalties and turnovers over the last three quarters including a fumble, an interception, a botched punt return and a botched kickoff return.
Finney took the lead for good at 16-12 in the second quarter on a 5 yard touchdown run and a two-point conversion carry by Zyaire Banks who also scored the Falcons first touchdown in the opening quarter on a 60 yard run.
Finney then pulled away in the second half scoring one touchdown in the third quarter and two more in fourth for the 38-12 win.
Holley, which is now 0-2 will next host Notre Dame at 1 p.m. next Saturday.
