The Start of a New Season for Girls Flag Football

Girls flag football is starting a new season after having a great run last year. Could flag football keep everyone interested in spring sports?  

The winter sports season is coming to an end as spring sports approach. Paxon is in for a very eventful season, especially with our flag football team on the field. As the new flag football season approaches, students and athletes perk up at yet another sport that’ll have their attention. Since the season is beginning, students and coaches have expressed their interest in flag football. 

Paxon’s flag football coach, Coach Logue shared his thoughts about the new season.  

“Being one of the best teams in the city pushes the girls, and me as a coach,” Logue said. “The girls are excited to show their new skills this season, we’re definitely going to show everyone exactly why they call us BIG Paxon.”  

Many athletes are very excited for the new flag season as they enter a new era, hopefully full of victories. Flag football also brings the same excitement as boys football season, which keeps students interested in the spring sport as they know the Friday night lights feeling all too well. 

“I’m so excited for the new season,” Daphnie Jiokeng, an athlete on the flag football team expressed. “We’ve been learning so much new material over the summer and during practice, this new season will definitely show how much improvement we’ve significantly made.”  

Flag football players have been working continuously over the summer and as practices have begun, students are just as excited as the athletes. Everyone is ready to see everything the team has to offer. 

“Flag season has to be one to keep in the books,” IB junior Lauren Sams explained. “I’m ready to see what the girls got this year, especially since I have friends that play. They’re definitely ready to dominate anything that comes their way.”   

Students are ready to feel that football excitement they’re able to get twice a year during spring and summer sports. Many students and faculty are very proud of Paxon’s flag football team, and the interest in the new season shows it. 

The girls flag football team is definitely capturing everyone’s attention as the spring sports roll in. Their winning streak has been splendid as they won districts last year. Students, staff, and athletes are beyond excited for the new fresh season.
