High 5 Sports recap – Week Eight
ATLANTA - Usually, where there is a flag on the play in football, it’s a bad thing
However, that is not the case when talking about flag football.
For the second year in a row, High 5 Sports is supporting the growing sport of ladies flag football. So, it's not one of the "stranger things" done on the big show.
It is really turning high school sports "upside down" with its popularity and that's why it's the Game of the Week.
