One year after its inaugural season could be largely described as patently mediocre, the North Point High School girls flag football team was clearly among the most improved squads in the Southern Maryland Athletic Conference this fall. On Tuesday evening, the Eagles came painstakingly close to completing an improbable journey when they suffered a 32-26 setback against defending 4A/3A state champion Clarksburg High in one of two state semifinals. North Point (12-2) had actually scored first on Tuesday then the Eagles countered a Coyotes’ answer with one of their own for a 12-7 lead at the end of the first quarter. One year earlier the Eagles endured a modest 4-6 regular season then won a pair of regional playoff games before falling to Wise in the region final. This year North Point was the SMAC regular season champion and later upended Wise in the region playoffs and Tuesday it hosted the state semifinals against the two-time defending state champions. “We’re definitely heading in the right direction,” said North Point second-year coach Davon Muhammad, a Gwynn Park High alum who is also the College of Southern Maryland women’s basketball head coach. “This team improved considerably from last year when we only

The Ravens will welcome six Maryland high school teams to M&T Bank Stadium on Nov. 17 for the state's first MPSSAA-sanctioned girls flag football state championships. Girls flag football is reaching another significant milestone in Maryland, and the Baltimore Ravens will provide the stage for the sport's next chapter. On Tuesday, Nov. 17, the Ravens and M&T Bank Stadium will host the first Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association (MPSSAA) Girls Flag Football State Championships since the sport was officially sanctioned. Three championship games will begin at 4:30 p.m., as six high school programs compete for state titles. The event marks another major step forward for a sport that has grown tremendously across Maryland over the past several years. In April, the MPSSAA officially sanctioned girls flag football as Maryland's 26th state championship sport, making the state the 19th in the country to recognize the sport at the high school level. The Ravens have played an instrumental role in that growth since launching their girls flag football initiative in 2023. What began with just 10 participating public high schools has expanded to more than 140 schools, including Eastern Shore programs through the Bayside Conference. More than half of the Bayside
