At the beginning of the school year, Buena High School expanded their athletics department by adding a flag football team. This comes two years after the Arizona Interscholastic Association added flag football for girls to Arizona high school sports. “It's just so much fun to be able to play a sport that we love, and we just have fun on the field,” said senior quarterback, Aryanna Garcia.
More than 60 girls tried out for the team. Thirty made the varsity squad. The school said they would have had a junior varsity team, but there aren't many programs in Southern Arizona. 'I think what really surprised me was the amount that did come out and the amount that stuck with it,' Colvin said. 'They're friends, but they're also out there just having fun.”Almost all of the players play other sports for Buena, but have never played football before August.
