NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP – The final day of the 2024 Flag Football playoffs saw the OTTAWA (KS) UNIVERSITY BRAVES needing a pair of wins to take their 4th straight National Championship. The 1st Game was against the WARNER UNIVERSITY ROYALS. A 7-7 opening Quarter tie remained unchanged at Halftime. The 3rd Quarter ended with the Braves up 14-7, and in the 4th, Ottawa defeated the Royals 21-13. QB Madysen Carrera went 31 of 39 for 271 yards and 3 Touchdowns.
In the climactic game the Braves clashed with the KEISER UNIVERSITY SEAHAWKS. After a scoreless 1st Quarter, Ottawa U. led 13-6 at the Half. From there the Braves shut out Keiser while scoring 13 more points for a 26-6 victory with Carrera going 34 of 41 for 246 yards and 4 Touchdowns. OTTAWA UNIVERSITY HAS BEEN THE ONLY CHAMPION IN FOUR SEASONS OF NAIA FLAG FOOTBALL.
