The Farmington Falcons host the Livonia Stevenson Spartans at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25, looking to snap a two-game losing streak in a non-conference football game.
Farmington (2-2) opened the season with two lopsided wins, beating Ann Arbor Huron 32-7 on Aug. 27 and Walled Lake Northern 28-7 on Sept. 3. The Falcons have stumbled since, falling 31-13 at Franklin on Sept. 12 and losing 7-6 to Walled Lake Western on Sept. 18.
The margins tell the story. Farmington's two wins came by a combined 46 points. The two losses: an 18-point defeat at Franklin and a one-point game against Walled Lake Western. Through four games, the Falcons have outscored opponents 79-52.
Junior quarterback Chace Burke leads the Falcons' offense with 310 passing yards and two touchdowns on a 57.1% completion rate through four games, according to MaxPreps.
