Flag Football Win 2nd Straight, Post 22-0 Shutout Victory
September 30, 2024—In their first ever home game at Brady Park on the campus of Saint Mary’s College High School, the Varsity Girl’s Flag Football team took on the John Swett Warriors out of Crocket, California, looking to improve to 2-0 on their young season. In fact, the Panthers would not disappoint as they would go on to defeat the Warriors by the score of 22-0, posting their first ever shutout victory in program history.
The Panthers got on the board early in the first half thanks to an 11-yard touchdown run by Junior Quarterback, Gabriela Clement, who gave the Panthers a 6-0 lead. On the next offensive possession, Clement showed her dual-threat capabilities as she would find Senior receiver, Aoife Shen, on a 6-yard touchdown pass, which was then followed up by a successful 2-point conversion on a 10-yard reception by Junior receiver, Kira Gant Hatcher, to give the Panthers a 14-0 lead over the Warriors. Lastly, to cap off her great day at quarterback, Clement would find Sophomore receiver, Alex Marsh, on a 70-yard touchdown reception before halftime to give the Panthers complete control of the game going up by the score of 22-0 following yet another successful 2-point try by Aoife Shen’s 10-yard reception.
Defensively, the Panthers were very stout as Senior, Neiyah Thompson, got an interception to end the first half, and Junior, Elia Kudemus, played strong coverage from the safety position to keep the Warriors from completing any deep passes.
The Panthers will now look forward to their next game on Monday, October 7th, when they travel to Vallejo High School to take on the RedHawks. The game is scheduled for 4:30pm.
