| Falcons flying minus key piece
The Peterson brothers never longed for practice space. Not when they were living in New Jersey, when they had a big backyard to satisfy all of their soccer-playing whims, or when they moved to Florida, home to year-round soccer weather, roughly four years ago. The plan was Dale Peterson, a senior, and his younger brother Kevin, a sophomore, were going to spend their days on Saint Stephen's Turner Fields. That hasn't been the case this season thanks to a strained groin, which has limited Dale, a co-MVP from a year ago, to roughly two games. So Kevin has decided to fly the family banner, which he will do tonight when the Falcons head to Tampa Prep for the Class 2A-Region 3 championship game, scheduled for 7 p.m. "Last year, I was more defensive, and he was an (attacking midfielder), so I really didn't get to combine with him," said Kevin, a forward/midfielder this season.
