Pike County High School’s first ever female flag football team won their first pre-season scrimmage game as they beat Trinity Christian School who placed fifth in the state last year. The team earned a 12-6 win and freshman Danica Evans made a 60-yard pass to Emma Truitt for the first flag football touchdown in PCHS history to tie the score at 6-6. Pike took the lead when senior Savannah McBrayer rushed for a touchdown late in the second half. The defense held strong, stopping TCS on fourth down multiple times and collecting two interceptions including one right before halftime by freshman Lacy Greene that looked like she was taking it to the house for a pick six before she was stopped by an accidental whistle by the referee.
The team is coached by Kevin Hobbs and Justin O’Steen.
