Undefeated Edison scored three touchdowns and kept Jackson off the scoreboard to pick-up a 19-0 victory in the GMAC flag football tournament championship Thursday at Traz Powell Stadium.
“It was a great win, Jackson was a tough team,” Edison coach Vince Hall said. “We had some fatigue after playing the semifinal game 45 minutes earlier, but we got it done.”
The Red Raiders (11-0) first score came on a 20-yard catch by Dynasty Gaines from Tatyana Fremont. Irenna Hines scored the second touchdown on a 10-yard pass from Fremont. Tashmbua Washington scored the final touchdown on a four-yard pass from Fremont. Nigera Starks led the defense with four sacks and Cherkeria Cooper had two interceptions.
Edison, the defending Class 1A state runner-up, hosted its first-round game Wednesday and defeated Krop 50-0. The Red Raiders defeated Miami High 40-6 in the GMAC semifinal game Thursday afternoon.
During its undefeated start, Edison is scoring 48 points per game and has allowed a total of 13 points.

Coral Springs Charter took a 3-2 lead in the fifth inning, scoring three runs with the ball never leaving the infield.

Laboy later scored from third on another error, and Bridget Dunham gave the Panthers the lead, scoring on a passed ball with two outs.
