In May, the Browns and Bengals hosted the inaugural Girls High School Flag Football State Championship at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium in Massillon, where the top four teams from both the Browns and Bengals divisions competed. Hamilton Badin High School won the inaugural championship over Willoughby South.

More high school girls are taking up flag football. As its popularity increases, more opportunities are arising for the athletes.

Dozens of high school girls from across the state attended a camp last weekend hosted by the regional NFL franchise.
