Fundamentals of flag

The Steelers flag football squad, including players (pictured, top row, from left) Liam Sparks, Jackson Avery, Grayson Mann, Declan Fanning, William Boben; (second row, from left) Henry Hughes, Jack Cusimano, Carlos Gonzales, Elijah Billnoske, and Travis Clements (bottom), dominated the field this season with positive attitudes and a willingness to learn. Under the leadership of head coach Alan Clements and assistant coaches Landrum Hughes, Jarret Avery, Brandon Fanning, and Thomas Sparks, the group of friends from St. Cecilia Catholic School excelled both on and off the field. Their inaugural season was an exciting journey through the world of flag football, where they not only embraced the fundamentals but also had a great time. Despite a challenging win-loss record, they persevered with enthusiasm and learned valuable life lessons, emphasizing the importance of sportsmanship, putting in their best effort, and never giving up. Way to go, boys.
