The Choctawhatchee high school flag football team saw its championship hopes evaporate on Thursday night, falling 42‑12 to a relentless Robinson squad in the 2A state semifinal. Robinson, now 20‑1 on the season, will meet Northwestern in the state title game on Saturday at noon Eastern Time.
Annie Keith Leads Robinson's Onslaught
Annie Keith was the catalyst for Robinson's victory, throwing for six touchdowns and amassing more than 300 passing yards. Her precision and poise overwhelmed the Choctawhatchee defense, turning what began as a close contest into a decisive rout.
Choctawhatchee's Diaris Morales managed two touchdowns, but the offense stalled against Robinson's disciplined scheme. The loss marks the fifth straight year the team has reached the Final Four, only to encounter Robinson each time, with four of those defeats coming at the hands of the same opponent.
The narrative also includes contributions from teammates such as Sarah Williams, Natalie Ashburn, Silvy Ewert and KK Hardy, whose efforts kept the squad competitive despite the final margin.
With the championship game looming, the focus shifts to the upcoming showdown between Robinson and Northwestern, a matchup that promises another chapter in Florida's vibrant flag football landscape.
