A New Era for the Bushland Falcons
Press Pass Sports’ Lee Baker recently sat down with Kannon Aven, the quarterback who led the Bushland Falcons to a breakout season last year. In a candid conversation at the Air It Out Football Camp, Aven reflected on the pressures of stepping into the starting role and the expectations that come with it.
Aven’s statistics from the previous campaign were impressive: 2,102 passing yards, 21 touchdown throws, 226 rushing yards and two rushing scores. Those numbers helped the Falcons secure a competitive standing heading into the new season.
The team’s 2026 opener is set for Friday, August 28, when they will host Seminole at 7 p.m. The matchup promises to be a test of the Falcons’ early‑season readiness and Aven’s continued development under the spotlight.
Bushland’s coaching staff has emphasized a balanced offensive approach, blending Aven’s arm strength with a revamped rushing attack. The quarterback said he has been working on quickening his release and improving chemistry with his receiving corps during the camp.
Fans can expect a lively atmosphere at the home stadium, where the community has rallied around the team’s resurgence. The game will be streamed live, and tickets are already selling out fast.
Looking Ahead
As the Falcons gear up for their season debut, Aven remains focused on the fundamentals: protecting the ball, executing the game plan and staying disciplined. “Every practice is a chance to get better,” he said, “and I’m excited to see where we can go.”
The upcoming clash with Seminole will serve as the first measuring stick for a team that hopes to translate its off‑season momentum into on‑field success. With a promising roster and a clear vision, the Bushland Falcons are poised to make a statement right out of the gate.
