Football Turns Feminine at La Jolla High

The La Jolla High School girls flag football team has been building momentum as the season continues. Led by captains Ava Gorman and Emily Crago and coached by Coach Art and Coach Butch, the Vikings have been working hard at practice and recently built a three-game winning streak. After defeating San Diego High 20–0 on September 30, La Jolla improved to a 5 – 8 overall win record. The Vikings also defeated Kearny 20 – 12 and University City 18 – 13 in their two games before that, giving the team three straight victories. Eibhlean Brennan, a member of the team, said, “My favorite part of flag football is winning and being really hype with my friends.” However, the team’s success doesn’t just happen during games. Much of the preparation happens at practice, where the players work on their skills and get ready for different situations they may face on the field. Players have a variety of activities they use to prepare for games.
