Blue Devil Flag Football Team’s Schedule Set

Huntington High School’s new varsity girls’ flag football team is ramping up. Section XI has sent the Blue Devils a nine-game league schedule. Practice will begin on Monday, March 13. All girls in grades 9-12 are eligible to try-out.

Players will be given all the apparel and gear they need. The team will practice outdoors at the high school. Huntington High School physical education teacher Shea Scully will serve as the team’s founding head coach. Gabrielle Valela is the assistant coach.

Students interested in participating can join the Huntington girls’ flag football program’s Remind group by texting the number 81010 to @2cgfefa.

Scully has created a HHS Girls Flag Football Interest Form that students can click on, complete and submit. Players should log in from their Google account with their hufsd.edu email address. Students or parents can also send a message to the coach at sscully@hufsd.edu.

This is a regular varsity athletic team resulting in a Huntington “H” letter award at the conclusion of the season. Players will engage in conditioning, drilling and scrimmaging at practice sessions. Previous knowledge or experience playing football is not required.

“We hope to create an enjoyable experience for everyone on the team,” Scully said. “We are going to have fun while learning all the techniques and skills associated with a great sport. We plan on being competitive, too.”
