Flag football season is underway and we’ve already seen a number of standouts.
We asked Section 1 coaches to identify standouts from Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties.
Last season, Scarsdale pulled off Section 1’s state championship in the sport, while Tappan Zee made it all the way to the state championship game.
These are the players believed to be making an impact this season into the Section 1 tournament in May and the New York State tournament in June.
Coaches: If you don’t see your top performers on this list, that means I didn’t receive a nomination from you. Email pstrum@gannett.com with any needed updates on omissions from this list.
In the coming days, we’ll release our first Flag Football Super 7 based on the players on this list.
