Vote: Who is the South Florida Girls Flag Football Player of the Week (2/25/2024)?
The Florida High School Girls Flag Football season is in full swing and we begin our Player of the Week polls for areas all around the state. Teams have started off the regular season with some great individual performances.
As such, we have eight athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s South Florida high school girls flag football player of the week award from February 19-24, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected. Voting will conclude on Sunday, March 3rd at 11:59 p.m. The winner will be announced in next week's poll.
Editor’s note: Our corresponding poll is intended to be fun, and we do not set limits on how many times a fan can vote during the competition. This poll is specifically for fans to vote on the players that have been nominated and in no way discredits any other player that may not be mentioned in our poll.
Here are the nominees:
Isabella Tassanelli, QB, Pompano Beach: The senior quarterback was dynamite to kickoff the season, completing 13-of-19 passes for 161 yards and four touchdowns.
Jaylia Stallworth, WR, Palm Beach Gardens: Stallworth, a junior wide receiver, caught four passes for 80 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-0 win over Lake Worth last week.
Sakura Barnes, QB, Somerset Academy South Homestead: Just an eighth grader, Barnes is already lighting it up down in South Florida. Barnes threw for 145 yards and three scores in a 32-0 win over Monsignor Pace.
Anitra Charlton, LB, Southridge: The junior linebacker made sure Norland's quarterback had no time to make throws last week. Charlton notched six sacks in a 26-0 win.
AnaBella Puccio, QB, Western: The sophomore signal caller was solid in the Wildcats' 35-0 win over Deerfield Beach. Puccio completed 13-of-22 passes for 169 yards and three touchdowns.
Leah Murphy, QB, Lincoln Park Academy: In a 47-0 rout of Morningside Academy last week, Murphy was efficient and completed 9-of-12 passes for 136 yards and three touchdowns.
Jordana Weil, QB, Park Vista: Weil had arguably one of the top passing days of any quarterback in Week 1. The signal caller completed 32-of-40 passes for 242 yards and five touchdowns against Cardinal Newman.
Ava Wotipka, QB, Somerset Academy-Canyons: Nearly perfect in a 37-0 victory over Pahokee last week, the freshman completed 9-of-11 passes for 185 yards and five touchdowns. Also rushed for 44 yards and a score.
