California Regional Division 4 championship and finishing as the runner up.

The Falcons finished the season with a 17-1-4 record.

The cost for each ring is $344 and the team consists of 21 players and two coaches. Some of the parents on the team started a GoFundMe, which has reached about a third of their goal.
