Following a record-setting appearance at the Little League World Series, 12-year-old Kinley Rasmus made her high school flag football debut for Central-Phenix City on Sept. 1. Rasmus completed four of five pass attempts for 43 yards and two touchdowns in a 63-0 shutout win against Johnson Abernathy Graetz. The Red Devils have now extended their winning streak to 60 games, a run dating back to November 2022. Having served as the team manager for the past two years, Rasmus is expected to maintain a role on both sides of the ball this season while backing up starting quarterback Deeana Amos.
