Mainland flags down Orlando Jones in regional

Mainland’s flag football team has relied on its passing game all season. In its Class 1A regional quarterfinal at Orlando Jones on April 26, the Bucs shifted.

They rushed for 130 yards, including a game-clinching 18-yard touchdown run by quarterback Ava Colubiale in the closing minutes as Mainland (12-5) defeated Jones 13-6 to advance to the regional semifinals.

The Bucs were scheduled to play at Fort Pierce Lincoln Park (13-2) on May 3.

After losing in the regional quarterfinals the past two years, the Bucs were able to get past the first round with a stout defense against the athletic Tigers.

Colubiale hit Kassie Stoner with an 18-yard touchdown pass early, and the duo connected again for an extra point. The Bucs protected their 7-6 lead by keeping the ball on the ground. Colubiale and Kamryn Williamson intercepted passes to help the cause.

Through 17 games, Colubiale is ranked ninth in the state in passing with 3,205 yards and 37 TDs.
