Derya Kelter goes by DK, but it might as well be TD -- as in touchdown -- because it was her nifty touchdown catch Friday that extended Chugiak's perfect season. Kelter's fourth-down, 8-yard scoring grab early in the fourth quarter keyed a 13-7 victory over upstart Dimond in the semifinals of the Cook Inlet Conference flag football championships.

Top-seeded and undefeated Chugiak turned three interceptions into touchdowns, coasting to a 36-0 victory over West on Monday at a rain-soaked Anchorage Football Stadium as the Cook Inlet Conference flag football championships began.
Becca Curlee picked off a West pass in the first quarter then went into the game at quarterback and tossed a 12-yard strike to Derya Kelter to put the Mustangs on the board. Lindsey Dyal scored on an option run from 19 yards out later in the first quarter, and Kelter had an 8-yard touchdown run before halftime to give Chugiak a cushion.
Second-half interceptions by Mariah Bookbinder and Morgan Payovich both set up touchdowns.
Quarterback Lorrie Clifford scored the first from six yards out, and then tossed a 35-yard pass to Sarah Watzke for the final touchdown.
