The scoresheet didn’t look pretty for the Northside Methodist Academy girls flag football team on Tuesday night, but it was a start for the new program.
The Knights were overwhelmed by the speed and athleticism of Montgomery Catholic and Dothan, falling to Catholic in the opener 30-0 and to Dothan in the nightcap 34-0 during a tri-match at Rip Hewes Stadium.While his team lost twice, Northside Methodist coach Robby Morris said the Knights, with 14 players on roster, gained valuable experience in the school’s first game in the sport of girls flag football.
The historic first play in NMA flag football history had Catholic’s Ann Cobb finding open room on the left side for a 30-yard gain to the 36 with NMA’s Sydney Freeman recording the first tackle. Cobb scored on a 1-yard run to cap the drive. The extra-point conversion failed, leaving it 6-0 Catholic. Catholic threatened twice before the half, but Northside Methodist’s defense held the Montgomery team out of the end zone to trail only 12-0 at halftime.
Northside finished the night with its game against Dothan and produced a few highlights. Jenkins completed a 13-yard pass to Anna Bull and a 15-yard completion to Freeman for first downs and Cool unleashed a 47-yard punt. Against Northside Methodist, Beacham threw a 14-yard TD pass to Dallas Pfister on a crossing route for a 6-0 lead on Dothan’s first series. After a punt, the Wolves scored on their first two possessions of the first half on a 5-yard Beacham to Aliceia Ransom pass and a 23-yard Beacham to Brenna Pfister score with five seconds left in the half.
