Flagler scored a golden goal in overtime that gave them the 2-1 victory.
Flagler then played their next game on Sunday against Mars Hill College in the Southeast Regional final. The outcome wasn’t nearly as close as their previous game. Flagler took control from the beginning and didn’t stop until the end.

I’ve crossed the finish line, but this crowd is unfamiliar.  My surroundings, unexpected. Until now, it was a place I’d only dreamt about, and this is not what I predicted.
My cross-country season is over. Practices have ceased. My races are done. Like so many other senior athletes — and like generations of athletes who have come before me — my status as a student-athlete has effectively come to an end.
I’ve wondered about this day for years. How I would feel?  How I would cope?  It’s the evitable finish to a 4-year race that, before today, was obscure and insubstantial, existing only in my mind as a quietly ignored but perpetually imminent mystery.

After a year of waiting, only minutes keep them apart.
Jenniffer DuBose watches as the bus rumbles to a stop. Her heart skips as soldiers, one-by-one, step down onto the sidewalk.
She spots her fiancé, Troy Edenfield — his familiar face hiding beneath a camouflage cap. Her heart tells her to run and embrace him, but her mind locks her in place.

If there is anyone who knows Florida’s history and can transform it into a song, Frank Thomas is the man. With over 500 songs under his belt and over 70 years in the music industry, the North Florida Folk Festival is honoring his talent and memorable lyrics on Nov. 12Â at the North Florida Agriculture Museum.
Thomas’ inspiration came from his love of Florida and his family. He said his ancestors came to Florida in the late 18th century and he has carried on the tradition and history ever since. As a Florida native, he said he believes that people need to know the history of the land they live on.
