In a contest that featured a pair of first-year girls flag football programs, the Notre Dame Knights came out in the winning end of the contest with a 24-0 shutout win over the Burroughs Bears.

Heading into the contest, Burroughs came off a 20-6 loss to Cajon back on Wednesday, September 3rd and Notre Dame came off a 12-6 win over Chaminade back on Tuesday, September 2nd.

Cadi Kutz used trickery to open the scoring in the second half when she connected with Taylor Ford and Brooklyn Ravelo for a double pass touchdown to give the Knights a 18-0 lead following Notre Dame’s defense forcing a three and out to start the third quarter. Kayla Duran thought she ended the shoutout on the Knights by running for a 64 yard touchdown run but it was called back due to a flag guarding penalty. Following the penalty, the Knights forced another punt to get the ball back for the offense. Notre Dame led by 18 heading into the final quarter.

Quote of the week

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.“
