In the girls’ final, the Seahawks and Texans, the defending champions, went back and forth in an instant classic.
In a sign of greatness to come, Ortman hit Smith to open the scoring, before the Texans’ Emery Beckett connected with Zahra Hill for the response. Austin’s Kaitlyn Reynolds followed a sensational pass breakup on defense with a go-ahead TD catch on offense. Ortman and Smith simply wouldn’t be denied, though. Ortman spotted Smith over the middle with a heave just over the goal line to tie it up, leading to the eventual two-point game-winner after the Texans went back up with a one-pointer.
