    <media:description type="plain"><![CDATA[JURUPA VALLEY, CA - OCTOBER 20, 2026: Patriot High School girls flag football line of scrimmage is silhouetted against a dusk sky during the First Round of the CIF Southern Section Playoffs against Bishop Montgomery on October 20, 2026 in Jurupa Valley, CA. Patriot won 25-7. The team has never made it past the first round of the playoffs since its inception in 2023. Girls flag football has a running clock, which stops on incompletions. There are four 12 minute quarters. The field is played on a regulation football field but is measured out 80 yards in length and 40 yards in width.
