More than just a sport: The rise of girls’ flag football

The OH flag football team is celebrating a lot of firsts this fall: first season, first goals, and first win. For Coach Abigail Jambor, this is a sweet start to what was a long process. Jambor explained how desperate she was for it to become a sport because Oswego is one of the last schools in the community to do so, as it is still not a nationwide initiative. Oswego is in a new era, because the process to get a sport verified is very extensive.  Jambor described this process as time-consuming. “I don't know if you've ever attended a board meeting,” she said with a pained expression. “[[T]]hey're very long. You wait three to four hours to present seven minutes of your proposal, and then you wait another month to find out, and then another month, and then another.”
