Trojans flag football shows grit in return, fall to Clark in league opener — PHOTOS

Updated January 18, 2026 - 11:36 am

Returning to the field for the first time since Dec. 20, the Lady Trojans flag football program gave it their best effort Wednesday evening.

Following a three-game winter skid during the Beast of the East tournament held by Mater East Academy in which the Trojans went 0-3, Pahrump Valley opened league play against Clark High School.

The Chargers got off to a lightning start as they were able to find the end zone three times, taking a 24-0 lead after the first quarter.

Holding their opponents to only six points in the second quarter and fourth quarter, the Trojans defense has shown great signs of progress this year despite what the box scores may reflect overall.

Clark senior quarterback Taedyn Parks completed 7-of-12 pass attempts for 97 yards and four touchdowns, with her longest pass going for 34 yards.

The Trojans offense combined for five interceptions as they were challenged with continuously moving the ball forward.

Further stats were not available before publishing deadline.

The Trojans will look to return to the field on the road Friday at 5 p.m. against Moapa Valley High School.
