West 18, Dimond 14
The West Eagles scored the winning touchdown with about 90 seconds left Saturday to claim their first flag football win over Cook Inlet Conference power Dimond.
Kyana Cornejo rushed 12 yards for the winning score in West's 18-14 triumph at Dimond Alumni Field.
"It was a big win," West coach Travis Cantrell said. "There was a good crowd. It was nice."
With time winding down, Isabella Roberts put West in scoring position with runs of 3, 24 and 25 yards.
Cornejo's run up the middle put the Eagles in the end zone, and then the defense took over to hold Dimond in the final seconds.
"Our defense did outstanding," Cantrell said.
Maya Baquiran finished with 11 flag pulls, Roberts came up with 10 and Mailee Baquiran added six for the Eagles.
West grabbed a 12-0 halftime lead behind touchdown passes by Rebecca Syrup, who hit Allysa Brown with a 12-yard pass and found Roberts with a 10-yarder.
Dimond seized a 14-12 lead in the second half on Megan Luther's 4-yard touchdown run and Heaven Thompson's 13-yard pass to Elizabeth Goodrun.
Luther finished with 77 yards on 17 carries and Tiffany Jackson added 58 yards on 13 carries for the Lynx. Goodrun caught four passes for 48 yards.
Defensively, Dimond got a boost from Victoria Johansen's eight pulls and D'Ahvionn Rabb's interception and three pulls.
