Defending AHSAA Flag Football Champions Punch Their Tickets to the Super 7 Once Again
The road to the AHSAA Super 7 is never simple, never predictable, and never short on adrenaline. But for Alabama’s defending flag football champions, Tuesday night felt like a powerful reminder of why they continue to dominate the state’s growing flag football scene. Both reigning champions Central-Phenix City in Class 6A/7A and Montgomery Catholic in Class 1A/5A secured their return to the biggest stage with commanding semifinal victories that felt equal parts disciplined and dazzling.

Central-Phenix City Cruises With Confidence
The top-ranked Central-Phenix City Red Devils looked every bit like a team determined to protect its crown. Facing unranked Smiths Station at home, they delivered a decisive 38–7 win a performance so one-sided it triggered the AHSAA mercy rule with two minutes left.
What makes this even more remarkable?
It was only the third time all season that Central even had to play into the fourth quarter. That’s how dominant they’ve been: a team that finishes games early not because they want to, but because their sheer force practically demands it.
With every crisp pass, every methodical drive, and every defensive stop, Central-Phenix City played like a team fully aware of its legacy and hungry to extend it.
Montgomery Catholic Extends Its Streak to 16 Straight
A few miles down the road, Montgomery Catholic added another chapter to its remarkable season, defeating Brewbaker Tech 25–12 in a semifinal that felt almost neighborly played just over three miles from Tech’s campus.
This victory marks their 16th straight win, a streak that reflects not just talent, but a kind of disciplined joyfulness the Knights have displayed all year. Their offense looked sharp and decisive, finding seams and creating momentum when it mattered most, while the defense delivered the kind of resilience playoff football demands.
They didn’t just win the game; they earned their return to the Super 7 with the calm assurance of a team that knows how to win under pressure.
A Familiar Finale But with Fresh Fire
With both defending champions heading back to the Super 7, this year’s championship round feels poised for something electric. These aren’t teams clinging to past glory they’re rewriting their stories in real time, with new playmakers, new energy, and that quiet, unmistakable confidence of programs that understand what it takes to stay on top.
If Tuesday’s semifinals were any indication, the Super 7 is going to be a showcase of precision, grit, and the kind of heart-pounding athleticism that has helped flag football explode across Alabama’s high schools.
One thing is certain:
The champions are back but they aren’t done yet.
