Two Southlake flag football teams headed to Florida last month to compete in a national tournament. By the end of the weekend, both teams were named champions.
Hosted by Under Armour, Under The Lights is a national youth league that allows children from kindergarten through eighth grade to compete in flag football matches. From July 22 to 24, teams all across the nation traveled to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida to compete in the 2022 national championships — and Southlake’s teams went home as winners.
According to MySouthlakeNews.com, the Southlake Patriots finished division play 8-0 and won their two games 26-20 over the Raiders and 18-0 over the Cowboys. Meanwhile in the third to fourth-grade playoffs, the Southlake Dolphins finished 7-1 in the division and won 35-0 against the 49’ers, 42-7 over the Cowboys and 41-6 over the Ravens for the championship game.
