Shariza Klinger said she simply caught the ball and ran after making an interception in the final minute of the Dothan Wolves’ girls flag football game against Booker T. Washington.
Turns out, she ran all the way into Dothan history with a long interception return for a touchdown, helping the Wolves rally from an 11-0 deficit for a 14-11 win over BTW during a tri-match at Rip Hewes Stadium.The second game loss to Eufaula didn’t take away the excitement of a first home victory for the Wolves, who played all of their games in their inaugural season last year on the road.
Dothan rallied behind two lengthy interceptions for touchdowns in the final 14 minutes of a 20-minute running clock in the second half. Brenna Pfister earned the first pick six to cut the margin to 11-6. Dothan went for a two-point conversion and converted when quarterback Reecy Beacham threw to Dallas Pfister in the end zone to put the Wolves up 14-11.While the ending was good, the beginning was nothing but rough. The Eagles seized an 11-0 lead in the first 10 minutes.
Eufaula wins two: Eufaula dominated the Wolves right from the start in the last game of the night, scoring on the first four possessions to build a 24-0 first-half lead, a score that stayed the rest of the game.
