MONTGOMERY – The B.C. Rain Red Raiders are hitting their stride.

But since then, B.C, Rain has raced past their competition in Class 1A/5A, Region 1 at a pace of 57.3 points scored per  game. In their last encounter, Goode’s Raiders set an AHSAA flag record scoring 78 points in a 78-6 win over Citronelle to improve to 4-0 in Region 1. In the process, senior quarterback Mya Crawford set another AHSAA flag record passing for 371 yards to land her and her teammates in this week’s AHSAA Flag Football Spotlight.
      Crawford, who rushed for 73 yards and two touchdowns on six carries, was 16-of-21 passing and fired five touchdown passes – three to senior receiver Mikeriah Laland. Crawford finished with 444 total yards and accounted for seven TDs, and Laland had seven receptions for 215 yards and also rushed for 73 yards and a fourth TD on two carries.    She also had an interception on defense. The Red Raiders’ defense was anchored by junior defensive back Kierra McPherson, who swiped four interceptions, one she returned for a touchdown, and had three flag pulls. On offense, McPherson had four catches for 107 Yards and two touchdowns.
     B.C. Rain (6-2) is 4-0 in region play outscoring the region opponents 229-8 averaging 57.3 ppg in those contests. For the season, the Raiders are averaging 37.6 ppg. The Mobile school has one game left with Alma Bryant next week.
     B.C. Rain’s high-powered offense edged out another record-setting contest in north Alabama last week. Bob Jones and Sparkman hooked up in a seven-overtime battle with the Patriots (6-1) emerging with a 25-19 win. Bob Jones also beat Grissom 25-7.
     Kourtney Dunham intercepted a pass in the final OT period to seal the win over the Senators. Receiver Charity Buchanan had two touchdown catches and two interceptions for Bob Jones, and quarterback Carson Horton passed for three TDs and rushed for a fourth score. The seven overtimes equal the most OT periods played in boys’ football in the AHSAA.
