• NEO flag football: Kirtland, Lake Catholic girls electrify crowd at NFL Hall of Fame game

WKYC Channel 3 – During Thursday’s Pro Football Hall of Fame Game in Canton, playing on the gridiron wasn’t just for the boys.

Girls flag football is not a sanctioned OHSAA sport, but after this they might want to consider it. Many schools have played in the past years what was referred to as ‘powder puff’ football. Usually a freshman, sophomore, junior and senior teams would play each other. Northeast Ohio Girls Flag Football League is one step toward making it a sport to consider for the future and watch.
