Honoring effort and excellence

There was a lot to celebrate about the 2025 girls’ flag seasons. New passions were sparked, and comfort zones were pushed. Stars were born. The Commanders wanted to make sure that folks who put their time, heart and resources into this sport were given their proverbial flowers.

Every week of the girls’ flag season, the Commanders recognized a “Coach of the Week,” — an honor that came with a $2,000 grant that went to the respective coaches’ football program. All the winners were hosted at a Commanders’ game at the end of the year, and Clarksburg High School Coach K.C. Landefeld was announced as 2025 Commanders’ Coach of the Year in an on-field surprise. At Loudoun County’s end-of-season banquet, Command Force, Major Tuddy and others helped close out the region’s inaugural girls’ flag season with pride and excitement for what’s ahead.
