Central Florida girls’ flag football players continue to make big plays all over the field as they tackle competitive opponents.
We looked at teams from multiple counties and nominated 15 athletes for the SBLive Central Florida Girls Flag Football Player of the Week for March 4-9, 2024.
We ask you, the fan, to decide who should be the top player selected. Voting will conclude on Sunday, March 17, at 11:59pm and will be announced in next week’s poll.
Congratulations to last week’s winner: SBLive congratulates Boone senior wide receiver/defensive back Eliana Higbe-Long for winning Central Florida Girls Flag Football Player of the Week for Feb. 26-March 2, 2024.
Editor’s note: Our corresponding poll is intended to be fun, and we do not set limits on how many times a fan can vote during the competition. The poll is specifically for fans to vote on the players that have been nominated and in no way discredits any other player that may not be mentioned in our poll.
