After a year of wading in the murky waters of change and cancellations, it’s time for some football once again. Flag football, to be precise.

The Beaver County Flag Football League will be holding its championship matches on Saturday at Tony Dorsett Stadium in Hopewell, with ceremonies starting at 4:30 and going until sundown. There will be multiple food trucks and a live DJ on site, as the best of Beaver County’s flag-footballing K-through-9 youth will showcase their skills. Admission is free to the public, and masks are required.

BCFFL president Brad Robison joined Matt Drzik on A.M. Beaver County to talk about the championship event, speaking about the long journey that it’s been for the league to reach this point. Robison talked about the platform that flag football gives for youth athletes in Beaver County, the emphases on safety and sportsmanship driven by the coaches and supervisors, and how such emphases can reshape the atmosphere of high school sports over the next decade.
