Player Awards and Recognitions

Hamilton girls help promote Gatorade effort to recognize Girls Flag Football

Gatorade recognizes one boys and girls athlete per state in several different high school sports. There are many sports that are not yet recognized with the Player of the Year honor, including Girls Flag Football. Gatorade is gauging the growing popularity of our sport in hopes that they may begin to recognize the Player of the Year. Our Hamilton girls were there to help promote this effort.
