Vote: Who is the top returning Florida girls flag football player for 2024?
Don't look now, but just because there's no high school football doesn't mean the pigskin isn't getting thrown around in the winter-spring.
In mid-February, girls flag football starts up in the Sunshine State and a lot of the top talent in the country resides out of Florida.
We went ahead and compiled a list of who we think are the top returning players candidates best on last year's statistics. We ask you the fan to take a look at our list of 25 athletes and give us your vote on who you think the top returning player in the state of Florida for 2024.
Voting concludes February 15, 2024 at 11:59 p.m.
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. This 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.
