Alonso is now a four-time Florida girls’ flag high school football state champ. Saturday night, the Ravens edged Wellington 21-20 in overtime to capture the 4A crown at the AdventHealth Training Center, the indoor practice facility of the National Football League‘s Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
At the start, it looked like it was going to be all Alonso as they took at 14-0 lead. Wellington tied it up at 14-all, forcing overtime.
In OT, Wellington scored first, but missed its extra point.
Shea Plantz caught her third touchdown of the night, which tied the game at 20-20. Then, junior QB Gabby Werr connected with Mia Garcia for the game-winning extra point.
The win caps a 20-2 season and gives Alonso two state titles in the last three years.
