The first season of Colorado's pilot program for Girls High School Flag Football, launched by the Denver Broncos, concluded with the state championships on Saturday. Chatfield handed Arvada West their first loss of the season in the championship, 14-7.
The pilot program was funded by Denver Broncos Charities, and included three school districts, 25 teams, and more than 550 participants. Those with the Broncos said the three school districts that participated this season were Cherry Creek, Jeffco, and Denver Public Schools.“This has been the first year ever where any female student in high school has had a chance to play organized flag football," said Bobby Mestas, the Broncos Director of Youth and High School Football.
“The Denver Broncos Foundation funded this first year's pilot, with great support from Nike, who did all of the uniforms, complimentary. The schools didn't have to pay a dime for the uniforms," Mestas explained. “Gatorade also assisted with some grant money as well. So, a lot of partnerships, not just with the school districts, but outside that were able to bring all this together for our big finale here today.
