As Week 1 of the 2018 Girls Flag Football season continues, three more teams have pulled off Top 25 upsets that will shake the rankings up going into Week 2 next week. Here is a combined recap of Wednesday & Thursday’s results:

No. 17 Godby shuts out No. 9 Lincoln in home opener while honoring the 2016 state semifinalist team

There was much talk about the early season matchup between No. 17 Godby and No. 9 Lincoln which played out Thursday night at home for the host Cougars.

In the end, it was a one-sided affair favoring the Cougars, 20-0 while honoring the 2016 Class 1A State Semifinalist team.

Quarterback Kaylene Colburn threw for three touchdowns while intercepting two passes on defense. Yarnesia Derico was on the receiving end of two of Colburn’s touchdowns while Kiara Byrd was on the receiving end of the other. Armarni Williams led Godby in receiving.

Gisele Jones and Ajah Dawson also had an interception each on defense.

Godby (1-0) and Lincoln (1-1) will be off next week for spring break in Leon County before returning to host Crossroad Academy and Rickards respectively on Wednesday, March 21.

No. 13 Martin County and No. 18 Bloomingdale fall in Thursday night action

Two All-Classification Top 25 teams in No. 13 Martin County (Stuart) and No. 18 Bloomingdale (Valrico) lost to teams ranked in the lower half of the Top 25 Class 2A rankings, but just sitting outside the Top 25 currently.

Martin County (1-1) dropped a big game against a rising Jupiter team on the road 18-0. Jupiter moves to 2-0 on the season looking to raise their profile for a possible Top 25 spot in the All-Classification rankings. Martin County will have next week off with spring break in effect while Jupiter will travel to Dwyer next Wednesday for a District 2A-9 contest.

Sharks win 20-13 in OT! Huge win to start the season! JV had a 13-0 shut out! First time both varsity and jv start the season 1-0! #WhNotUs

No. 18 Bloomingdale fell to Riverview (Riverview) on the road 20-13 in overtime after just squeaking by against Newsome on Monday to open the season. The win for Riverview gives them a season opener win and an edge now in District 2A-6. Both Bloomingdale and Riverview are off next week due to Hillsborough County’s scheduled spring break.

Before I sleep can I just say, one of the best moments of tonight was the combined singing of the national anthem with us and @BdaleFLAG after p.a. system malfunction…what a great country we live in! #Merica
