La Crescent girls fall short in flag football championship at TCO Stadium

Four Minnesota girls high school flag football teams met at TCO Stadium in Eagan, Minnesota for the first girls high school flag football championships.

La Crescent-Hokah faced off with Houston in the first round of the 4-team playoff.

La Crescent would lead 12 to 8 at the half, but in the second half the Lancers came alive. Brooklyn Mitchell would score multiple touchdowns as La Crescent would win 38-8.

The Lancers would then face off with Rosemount in the championship game.

It was a close game late in the second half. La Crescent trailed by 7, but after a long touchdown pass from Eve Cody to Savanah Klinski the Lancers pull within 1.

Instead of going for the 5 yard 1-point conversion, the Lancers opted for the 10 yard 2-point conversion which would give them the lead.

The attempt would go off the hands of the receiver, as La Crescent fell short 27-26.
