The Texans, led by foundation vice president Hannah McNair, along with support from the Dallas Cowboys and the NFL want girls flag football to be voted in by the University Interscholastic League as a statewide official varsity sport in Texas.“Talk to your superintendents, get them to buy in and be involved and really push this forward in their areas,” McNair said. “It’s ‘Make Texas Next,’ and I will be there, so I’m excited to get this over and get it UIL sanctioned. .. “Just speaks volumes of where this is going, in my opinion. It’s only growing year after year. These are some incredible athletes. Just looking forward to the opportunities that are provided to them.”foundation vice president Hannah McNair at 18th annual senior showcase, third annual girls flag football college showcase, with more than 850 high school football players, more than 250 girls flag football playersThe event, attended by NFL global flag ambassador Ashlea Klam, is the latest initiative from the Texans supporting girls sports. They also purchased a professional women’s volleyball team last year.The chance to earn scholarships is significant. And flag football is on course to become a championship-level varsity sport at the collegiate level through the NCAA. “It’s generational change,” McNair said. “It provides scholarships to these athletes who may not otherwise have an opportunity to go to college, and the opportunity to play in college as a high-level athlete. It just opens doors.”“Don’t be scared to try it,” McNair said. “I’ve talked to so many young athletes and they go, ‘Oh, I don’t know. My brothers play,’ or ‘I’ve watched and I’m just not sure I can do it. Some of the girliest girls they get out there and they turn into just a different person and they love it. It changes their mental toughness. They feel like they’re part of a team. It just provides a self-confidence you see the girls exhibiting.” McNair, asked about the Texans’ 13-5 season that included a 10-game winning streak after an 0-3 start and ended in an AFC divisional round playoff game loss to the New England Patriots, is still processing the emotions of a tough loss at Gillette Stadium.
