Tompkins didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Cinco Ranch when the teams last played back in October of 2024, but they still walked away with a 50-45 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Falcons since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
