Rankings as of May 29th,2003

May 28th, 2003
Clearwater, FL
Florida hosted its first State Championship for Girls Flag Football. The game played was 7man no contact, but amidst controversy. The Florida High School Activities Association changed the rush from 5 yards to one yard despite the fact that over 70 schools played the previous two years with the 5 yard rush. The rule change angered several schools as the change was clearly to favor the 10 schools from the north who played the previous year with the one yard rush. Spanish Rivers Head Coach Steve Spaggs resigned in protest of the rule change, and the International Flag Football Federation denounced the rule change as a  major set back.
7man no Contact with a 5 yard rush is the International Game, played by over ten  women's countries.
  The Top eight teams in the state met in Clearwater this past weekend for the single elimination tournament. The Tournament MVP was  Flying Ls' QB Evette Young who threw for  two td passes, and intercepted a pass with 40 seconds remaining to preserve the win for Ft Lauderdale who ended the season at 14-1. Last year the Flying L's were the Broward county champs. Lake Worth scored its only TD on a 10 yard run by Melissa Savage.  Lake Worth participated in a Women's Flag Football Tournament in Montreal Canada In July of 2001,where the team went 0-3 but three players played for Team USA an gained valuable experience; WR -Erin Brant,LB- Nicole Musco and QB Melissa Savage.
