Flag football is growing in popularity at the high school level in the Greater Savannah area, and teams continue to make names for themselves with their high level of play.

This season, New Hampstead and Calvary Day topped the list when it came from the Greater Savannah area.

Calvary Day, which earned a state name in 2020 in the first year the GHSA introduced flag football, earned its fourth straight regional name and qualified for the Elite Eight in the Division I playoffs.

New Hampstead was a powerhouse, as Phoenix went through the regular season undefeated. Phoenix reached the Division I semifinals, where they faced the SE Bulloch, the perennial powerhouse that hasn’t lost a game in three seasons.

New Hampstead gave SEB, which won its third straight state title, a war in a 20-14 loss. It was New Hampstead’s only loss this year as Phoenix finished the season with a 19-1 record.
