Dimond Lynx repeat as Cook Inlet Conference flag football champions

Another year, another Cook Inlet Conference championship for Dimond High flag football.

Sophomore Mai Makeati ran for 125 yards and junior quarterback Kali Hibbert scored a pair of rushing touchdowns Thursday night to lift the Lynx past West 12-6 at Dimond High. Dimond won the league’s title for the fourth time in the last five years and nine of the last 13 conference crowns.

Dimond finished with a 16-2 record. West, 14-3, appeared in the title game for the sixth consecutive season, placing second every time.

Hibbert scored on a 1-yard run in the second quarter and from 2-yards out in the fourth. West senior quarterback Lupe’lani Vaaia connected with senior Frida Vargas on an 8-yard pass play for a touchdown with 16 seconds remaining. Dimond completed the game with one kneel down.

Mateaki and Maile Wilcox totaled seven defensive pulls for the Lynx, and four of Lauren Tufaga’s six pulls went for a loss.
