Emily Sollie making her own name with Gadsden City flag football

Growing up, Emily Sollie was stuck having to catch passes and run routes for her older brother, Sam. It worked out well for the now-junior quarterback for Gadsden City football as he's committed to Auburn. For a while, though, it seemed catching passes for Sam was just the kind of younger sibling duty that Emily got stuck doing. Then the siblings moved to Gadsden City and Emily had a chance to take all that knowledge and training and use it on the same football field Sam started starred on. She joined the Titans' flag football program ahead of the 2025 season. "I was really excited to the join the team, I though it was so much fun and it looks fun too," Emily Sollie said. Now, she's starting both ways at receiver and linebacker/safety for the Titans who ended the regular season 11-2 and took home the first region title in the program's four-year history. For her mom, Jenny Sollie, Emily's growth in flag football is just one of many ways she has seen her daughter grow since moving from Westbrook Christian.
