🏈 Girls Flag Football — 3-2 on the season
Sat 9/19 at Monument Valley — W 20-6 (played at Williams HS). A monster day through the air: QB Ava Pongratz threw for 368 yards and 3 TDs and ran for 70 more, while Giovanna Di Scala caught 7 passes for 196 yards and a TD and added 4 interceptions on defense — earning a nomination for AZ Republic Flag Football Player of the Week.
Mon 9/21 vs. St. John Paul II — W 17-0. The Sentinel defense pitched a home shutout.
Wed 9/23 at Benjamin Franklin — L 0-24. The Sentinels went on the road to battle one of the state's top-ranked programs — a great measuring-stick game as the Sentinels build toward region play.
