COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - A local high school will be getting to start its girls flag football program this upcoming fall.
LaGrange High School was one of 42 high schools out of Georgia selected to receive grants from the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation to launch a girl flag football program.
The Georgia High School Association (GHSA) approved girls’ flag football as an official high school sport in December 2019, making Georgia the fourth state to do so.
More than 260 schools in Georgia and over 110 schools in Alabama will compete this year.
