HOUSTON \u2013 A week ago, the Texans\u2019 high school girls flag football team won an NFL championship.<\/p>\n
Competing at the national championship in Canton, Ohio, the Austin-based squad supported by the Texans delivered a 19-0 victory over the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n
Maxwell Award National Player of the Year Ava Wallace, NFL Flag Player of the year finalist Sonya Chalil and Emory Beckett attended the Texans\u2019 training camp Friday morning along with their teammates and coaches.<\/p>\n
The team met Texans players, including quarterback C.J. Stroud, and interacted with team vice president Hannah McNair, a major advocate for flag football to become an official sport at the high school level in Texas.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so glad that she gets excited,\u201d Wallace said. \u201cI mean, it\u2019s huge to have a support system like that, because I mean it takes everybody to get this support. We\u2019ve been trying for about like three or four years to get it UIL sanctioned, and we\u2019ve had a very hard time. But, with her help, I think we\u2019re going to be able to do it.”<\/p>\n
