Crown them (again). Penn Kingsmen win second state flag football championship
Penn wins second state flag football championship in as many years, topping Lawrence North in state finals.
With only the first period remaining, Penn senior quarterback Quinn Driscoll tossed a long ball to the back of the end zone. Alivia Dawson, a Penn junior, leaped into the air to secure the ball. Driscoll's throw gave Penn a 20-point lead, which they never relinquished. The Wildcats mounted a 16-point comeback in the second quarter, but it was not enough to overcome Penn's lead.
A year after beating Lawrence North in the inaugural Indiana girls flag football state championship game, Penn secured its second consecutive title with a 34-28 victory over the Wildcats. Penn's coach, Jerimiah Maggart, praised Dawson and Driscoll for their leadership and chemistry. Lawrence North coach Donny Mimms acknowledged his team's resurgence in the second half, but said their effort was not enough.
The Kingsmen added to their legacy as the first and now second Indiana high school girls flag football state champions.
