"It's showdown time in City Section girls' flag football. Unbeaten Eagle Rock (13-0) plays at unbeaten Panorama (19-0) at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. Eagle Rock is a little bit of a surprise. The Eagles lost to graduation perhaps the No. 1 player in the City Section, Haylee Weatherspoon, but they are showing they are not a one-person team. Basketball players Nyla Moore and Kyla Siao have become standouts on the football field."
"Moore, only a junior, is the quarterback. Siao, a shooting guard, is a top receiver and safety. Coach Julie Wilkins said, "We don't have an all-star like Haylee, but everyone contributes." Eagle Rock relies on receivers who don't drop passes. The 5-foot-11 Moore uses her height, mobility and arm to find her receivers. This will be the first big test for Panorama, which is aiming to be an Open Division playoff team this season."
Unbeaten Eagle Rock (13-0) travels to face unbeaten Panorama (19-0) Wednesday evening in a City Section girls' flag football showdown. Eagle Rock lost a top player, Haylee Weatherspoon, to graduation but has developed depth across the roster. Nyla Moore, a 5-foot-11 junior and basketball player, has become the quarterback using height, mobility and arm strength to find reliable receivers. Kyla Siao, another basketball player, has emerged as a top receiver and safety. Coach Julie Wilkins emphasizes team contributions rather than a single star. Panorama views the game as its first major test while pursuing an Open Division playoff berth.
