BLOOMINGTON, Ill. (WMBD/WYZZ) — Girls flag football has officially hit the Twin Cities.
Normal Community quarterback Bailey Engle tossed four touchdown passes to lead the iron to a 40-15 win over Normal West at Tucci Stadium on Wednesday night. The game was the first flag football game for both schools.
Champaign Central defeated Bloomington, 78-6, spoiling the flag football debut for the Raiders. U-High, which lost its season opener Monday, is also in its first year with flag football, giving Bloomington-Normal four new programs this fall.
Three of Engle’s touchdown passes went to Campbell Damery, a standout soccer player who is a wide receiver on Normal Community’s flag football team. Damery took an Engle shovel pass and scampered into the endzone in the first quarter for the first touchdown in school history.
Normal West’s first score came on a trick play with Trinity Wynn taking the ball 86 yards for a score. Bloomington’s first ever scoring play was a 96-yard run by freshman Ellie Weaver.
In boys soccer, Normal West blanked Pekin, 9-0, to win its season opener.
