It\u2019s the second straight year that the Eagles won the flag championship that has become an integral part of the Big 33 Football Classic, an all-star high school football game (tackle) that celebrated its 68th game after the girls played their title game at Chapman Field at Cumberland Valley High School.<\/p>\n<p>You can watch Johnson\u2019s game-winning toss to Penn Manor\u2019s Samiah Knight with just under nine minutes to play below.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson, who will play Division II basketball at the University of the District of Columbia, began playing flag as a sophomore at Abington High. She told our friends at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easternpafootball.com\/maya-johnson-and-samiah-knight-lead-the-eagles-over-steelers-in-big-33-all-star-flag-football-game\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">EasternPAFootball.com<\/a> that the sport is quickly gaining on her first love, basketball, \u201cI did grow up playing basketball, but I grew up in an Eagles\u2019 household, and you know how that goes. My first love was basketball, but flag football is challenging that. I love it. I played (football) in recess all the time in grade school. I\u2019m going to University of the District of Columbia for basketball, but I plan on playing flag in college, and if they don\u2019t have a team, I\u2019m thinking of starting one myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Knight, who made the game-winning catch, will play college flag at Neumann University in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI grew up playing all types of sports, and grew up playing street football,\u201d Knight said. \u201cA lot of girls, in the beginning, did not play flag football, maybe because they thought it was too masculine, or too aggressive. I did play for the Penn Wood flag football team the last two years. I\u2019m going to play at Neumann in college, and I\u2019m really excited about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Below you can watch the full game from our friends at D11 Sports on their YouTube channel.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Eagles and the Steelers, the <a href=\"http:\/\/baltimoreravens.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Baltimore Ravens<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/commanders.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Washington Commanders<\/a> had all-star teams take part in the four-team tournament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Abington\u2019s Maya Johnson tossed two touchdown passes to lead the Philadelphia Eagles All-Stars to a 12-7 win over&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":84874,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2068],"tags":[23466,25,7,6791,8324,6,242,109,2476],"class_list":{"0":"post-84873","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia-eagles","8":"tag-big-33-football-classic","9":"tag-eagles","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-girls-flag-football","12":"tag-girls-flag-high-school-football","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-philadelphia","15":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","16":"tag-philadelphiaeagles"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114584633106975171","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84873","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84873"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84873\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84873"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84873"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
