Rising to New Heights
Rising to New Heights is the tagline for Fairfield Ludlowe Falcons Football. While three team-level statistical categories (Overall Winning Percentage, Average Total Points Scored, by Season and Thanksgiving Day Game Winning Percentage) capture by numbers the spirit of Ludlowe Falcons Football in 2024 and beyond, Rising to New Heights also captures the quality of the expanded coaching staff, the growth in roster size in recent years and the elevated support for the team coming from the Falcon Gridiron Club and the Fairfield community.
“We are no longer a team, but now a program”
