Junior star overcomes injury to lead Greenbrier flag football to GHSA state championship
Greenbrier flag football has its state title.
The Lady Pack (19-1) knocked off Lithia Springs 14-6 Tuesday to earn the Georgia High School Association Division II state championship. It's the first state title in program history for Greenbrier, and it came against the team that knocked the Lady Pack out of the state playoffs each of the last two seasons.
Junior Maggie Pangle caught the go-ahead touchdown with just under four minutes remaining in the final quarter and made a number of key plays on defense to seal the victory. A quarterback sack in the end zone as time expired served as icing on the cake.
Pangle became the star of the game after leaving the field with an ankle sprain during the first half. She spent halftime and most of the third quarter pacing the sideline with a brace on her ankle.
Greenbrier previously made trips to the Final Four in 2020 and 2021, and with Tuesday's win becomes the first CSRA team to be crowned a state champion.
