Flag football season is back.
Section 1 play kicked off with its first games last week. For the first time, Section 1 has a defending state champion in its ranks as Scarsdale won the Class A state title last season. Tappan Zee, which has several players coming off a girls basketball state championship, begins its defense of its Section 1 title this week. Tappan Zee made it all the way to the Class B state championship game a year ago.
