Rutherford County Schools
Blackman captured Rutherford County Schools’ inaugural girls flag football title Monday with a 20-14 win over Siegel.
Blackman entered the season undefeated and Siegel had a record of 6-2. Played at Blackman, the championship game began April 23 but was suspended due to weather.
TSSAA officially sanctioned girls flag football as a high school sport and most teams began playing in spring 2025, though some competed in the fall.
As RCS district champion, Blackman can compete in a postseason invitational, scheduled for May 7-9 at Siegel Soccer Park in Murfreesboro.
More than 150 Tennessee high schools offer flag football in 16 athletic districts. TSSAA officials could vote this summer to consider flag football as a full-fledged sport, paving the way for state championship games as soon as 2026.
