The Flushing Red Devils faced a 12-6 deficit early in the third quarter against Columbus HS, after struggling to move the ball throughout the first half. Then senior tailback Andrew King scored his second TD of the afternoon, and that was all the Red Devils needed as they cruised to a 32-12 win, their first victory in the PSAL's Championship Division.
King's score gave Flushing a 14-12 lead and served as the catalyst of an offensive explosion. Senior signal-caller Deon Frazier added to the onslaught, tossing two TD passes. Junior Jahleel Mozie, who caught one of Frazier's scoring passes, keyed an aggressive defense with a 40-yard return on a fumble recovery.
The victory signaled the continued resurgence of the Flushing football team and announced the squad's presence as a contender in this year's Championship Division. Just two years ago, the Red Devils were playing in the Cup Division, the lowest level of the PSAL's three-tiered system. Last year, they moved up to the Bowl/Championship Division as a level-3 squad, the mid-level in the league's setup, and went 7-2.R
