North Pole and Colony meet at midfield before the ASAA state championship game in Wasilla.

The Alaska state championship ran through one family. Twins Jade and Taimane Skipps scored all four North Pole touchdowns as the Patriots beat Colony 27-21 on October 10 in Wasilla to win the ASAA girls flag football state title.

Colony led 14-6 before North Pole ripped off 21 unanswered points. Each twin scored on a one-yard dive, and Taimane threw a six-yard touchdown pass to Jade as the Patriots (19-2) claimed their second state championship in three years.

Colony’s defense got six sacks from Jordynn Colby, and the Knights were led by quarterback Bri Parrent, the MaxPreps Alaska Player of the Year, whose season was one for the record books: 6,397 passing yards, 73 touchdown passes, 2,431 rushing yards, 21 rushing touchdowns and a state-record 533 total points.

In a state where flag football is played in fall weather that turns fields into mud and breath into fog, North Pole and Colony produced a final worthy of the stage — and the Skipps twins produced a story Alaska won’t forget.

Alabama Runs Deep: Undefeated Moody, Central and Montgomery Catholic All Sit in the National Top 15

Moody quarterback Serenity Rutledge (0) runs against Montgomery Catholic during the AHSAA state championship game at Protective Stadium.

If you want to find the center of the high school flag football universe, check Alabama. Three Alabama programs sit in the USA TODAY Super 25 national rankings — and the state’s No. 2 team hasn’t lost in 30 games.

Moody (17-0) is the streak story of the fall. The defending AHSAA Class 1A-5A champions picked up their 30th consecutive win this week, are ranked No. 7 in the Super 25 and No. 8 in the MaxPreps national rankings, and recently outscored three opponents 146-0 in a single week. Sophomore Sophie White put up 472 all-purpose yards and seven touchdowns in one doubleheader. The Blue Devils’ title DNA is real: last December at Protective Stadium, quarterback Serenity Rutledge threw three touchdown passes — to Zoey Terry, White and Kennedy Hockman — and Cheyenne Moore returned an interception 48 yards for a score in a 27-18 final win over Montgomery Catholic.

Central of Phenix City (11-2) is Alabama’s No. 1 and the nation’s No. 5, powered by Savannah Sevier, who recently stacked 301 yards, four touchdowns, six flag pulls and four pass breakups in a single week. Montgomery Catholic (12-1), ranked No. 15 nationally, is right back in the hunt behind senior Hayden Fitts, who ran for three touchdowns and threw for another against Spain Park.

With Spain Park, Vestavia Hills, Boaz and Brewbaker Tech also ranked in the state Super 10, Alabama’s playoffs this winter might be the toughest tournament in the country.
