To kick off the girls high school flag football playoffs, the Windermere Wolverines shut out the visiting Olympia Titans, 26-0, and claimed their spot in the Class 4A, District 5 playoffs semifinals against No. 1 seed Horizon High.

The Wolverines (8-5) took a 12-0 lead over the Titans (8-3) in the first half on the back of two touchdown passes by senior quarterback Riley Allen and kept the momentum going in the second half scoring two more times.

Windermere traveled to Horizon to face the 15-1 Hawks in the district semifinals and fell. Horizon will face West Orange High in the district championship game.
