Scarsdale's Flag Football Team Wins State Championship

Scarsdale High School Girls Flag Football Team completed an undefeated season with a win at the state championships at Cortland High School on Sunday June 8, 2025. The team scored a 22-6 win over Half Hollow Hills in the Class A championship game.

It’s an amazing run for a team that is only three years old, with Flag Football first launched at SHS when the Section 1 League began in 2022.

Commenting on the team’s season, Scarsdale High School Athletic Director Cindy Parrott said, “As far as Flag, they played three intense postseason games that were won by making big plays on both offense and defense. They are a well-coached, smart, athletic team that put together a season to remember, finishing 22-0. I am thrilled for the coaches, players, parents, and the larger Scarsdale community for the excitement this team created throughout the season. It was an amazing experience to be part of such a special accomplishment.”

And Superintendent Drew Patrick said, "I want to congratulate the Scarsdale High School Girls Flag Football Team on winning state championship with a 22 and zero record. They defeated Fayetteville-Manlius on Saturday and Half Hollow Hills on Sunday to win that title in Cortland. Thank you to our coaches, Tom Newkirk and Mindy Genovese and to Scarsdale Police Department for the championship escort they provided to our returning athletes as they came to their supporting family and friends down Post Road and to SHS."
