Picked off by the Knights! Interceptions were a huge part of Nordonia taking home the first OHSAA state title in flag football. Notably, #14 Haydn Paul ended all 3 of the Knights' opponents final drives with an INT, one of those being a pick-6. Her and #22 Nadia Adams tore those offenses apart!

DEFENSE! That's how the Nordonia Knights took down their first opponent at the state tournament, 2025 champion and 2026 Bengals league champion Hamilton Badin. Big stops and a pick each from #22 Nadia Adams and #14 Haydn Paul.

Neither side scored until the second half when #15 Landry Holtz gets the first and only touchdown of the game. Badin's last drive comes to an end when the ball is intercepted by Haydn to ink the Knights' W.

2026 Flag Football State Champions! 14 Haydn Paul opens the game with an interception (and ends Mount Notre Dame's last chance drive with one too...). Touchdowns from 4 Nyla Burns, 21 Charlotte Naymik, and 2 Ava McLendon, and both extra points came from the ever-reliable 15 Landry Holtz.

The Knights went into halftime up 14-0 but fell behind 14-19 in the final minutes of the game before McLendon found the endzone for the final time of this season to win the first-ever state title in flag football 20-19.

Congratulations Knights, and welcome to your page in the history books 💚

The Nordonia Knights' run at the Browns Championship title ended with a narrow 18-22 loss to Midview. But can we take a minute to appreciate how tough this Nordonia defense is? 2 interceptions from #14 Haydn Paul, an interception from Kenzie Ekis, and how sweet is that double flag pull from #22 Nadia Adams?

But their season isn't over yet. The Knights are back on the field one more time in Canton on May 16 for a shot at the state title.

Nordonia's Haydn Paul intercepts a pass right from the hands of Sandusky's receiver in Monday's regional playoff tournament. This is the kind of next level defense that earned the Knights a spot at state.
