   ​WATERVLIET — Constantine was supposed to play at South Haven on Friday night.But the game was impacted by the lack of electricity as a local power station went down. Constantine does a good enough job hiding the football as it is with their running backs coming out of the backfield, trying to tackle them would be harder without any lights.So the game was moved to Saturday, at a different venue. Constantine still had no problems as they beat South Haven 50-0 at Watervliet.The Falcons scored in all four quarters of the game.
