Washington Prodigy Team News & Key Performers
In just his debut season at the helm, Jordan has orchestrated a near-perfect campaign for Washington. The Prodigy posted their first undefeated regular season and then edged past reigning champs Mississippi Panthers in a nail-biting Eastern Conference title game.
The Panthers dominated early, taking a 10-0 lead into halftime, thanks to a highlight-reel Pick IX from veteran linebacker Diamond Wright. But Washington stormed back in the second half, with their defense — led by Team USA gold medalist LaShantel Wilson — clamping down hard and silencing the Panthers’ offense.
Offensively, the Prodigy’s two-QB system finally clicked. Ashley Clark, who was later crowned Eastern Conference Tournament MVP, took charge after the break, delivering a pinpoint touchdown pass to electric rookie Mackenzie Vest, who earned Offensive MVP honors. A clutch fourth-down stand on the final drive sealed the Prodigy’s ticket to the IX Cup.
Texas Elite Spartans Team News & Key Performers
Meanwhile, the Texas Elite Spartans, under the legendary guidance of Odessa Jenkins — a Women's Football Hall of Famer and former Falcons assistant via the Bill Walsh Diversity Fellowship — booked their sixth IX Cup appearance with an all-out statement win over the highly rated San Diego Rebellion.
The Spartans came out blazing, building a 21-0 first-half lead behind a dominant showing from #36 Destanie Yarborough, who bulldozed her way to Offensive MVP honors. Quarterback Michelle Angel ran the offense to perfection, with her O-line creating running lanes that left San Diego chasing shadows.
Texas’ defense was equally ruthless. #5 Whitney Palmer, named Defensive MVP, led a suffocating unit that not only pitched a shutout but also capped the game with a crowd-igniting Pick IX. #0 Deana Guidry, the Western Conference MVP, was everywhere — plugging holes, locking down receivers, and energizing her team with relentless intensity.
