URBANA - Belleville East's Sophia Cooper runs the ball past Richwoods' Jaydah Green during their game at Urbana High School on Wednesday. Cooper hauled in seven passes, three resulting in touchdowns for the Lancers, who went on to win 26-13, improving to 5-1 on the season after the non-conference game.
Cooper tallied 157 yards of the Lancers' 222 passing yards. The junior also finished the game with one punt return good for 15 yards.
Belleville East, now in their second season of girls' flag football, is back in action again on September 17, facing Peoria High School in one game and Peoria Manual in the second.
