Talking to coaches, parents, and athletes at the flag football championships yesterday, I can tell you there’s a lot of optimism about the potential for the NCHSAA to sanction the sport in a couple weeks.
The board will hear a report from the flag football committee about the path forward to sanctioning. Right now, that’s only scheduled as a discussion and not as a vote. But the board can change that at the meeting with a simple motion.
Most schools surveyed by the NCHSAA said they prefer flag season be in the fall. That’s been a big sticking point. We’ll see what the board says Dec. 1-2.
