Memorable season ends at Butler

In a lot of ways, there will never be another Davie flag football team like 2026, the inaugural season for the new sport. The Lady War Eagles made memories they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. “Sad initially because of the loss,” coach Bob Richardson said when asked about the emotions following a 7-0 loss at Butler on Nov. 7 in the third round of the 7A playoffs. “It was a fantastic inaugural season and an exciting way to start off a new program. Once it all sinks in and the fact we were still playing in the third round, it’ll feel like a real success. We had great team chemistry. If anything, they’ll just miss just hanging out together. Years from now, they’ll recognize and remember the fun times together.” Davie was the No. 6 seed in the Western Division. The Bulldogs are the No. 3 seed. The War Eagles entered the Sweet 16 with skyrocketing momentum, averaging 22 points a game, winning seven in a row and 11 of 12.
