Special Community Highlights by Mike:
- Shout out to the North Lawndale College Prep girls flag football team. According to WBEZ, the Lady Phoenix got a pleasant surprise last week from the Chicago Bears. On Sept. 30, the Bears donated cleats, sweatbands, gloves, flags, and other clothing items to the Lady Phoenix as they get ready to play the King College Prep Jaguars in the playoffs. Unfortunately, the Lady Phoenix would go on to lose to King 59-6 on Oct. 5, but I’m sure the memories will last. In addition to getting gear, the Bears and the McCaskey Foundation also made a $1,000 donation to the Lady Phoenix program.
- The Bears and the Chicago Public League launched a pilot girls flag football program in 2021 featuring nearly two dozen teams from the city. After a couple of years of moderate expansion, the Illinois High School Association officially sanctioned it in 2024.eams now compete from across the state, with sectional playoffs that began on Sept. 30 as they march toward an Oct. 17 championship game at Willowbrook High School. Bears youth and high school football coordinator Lenny Smith said “[Women’s flag football] will be an Olympic sport in 2028, and the NFL is currently working on a pro flag football league that’ll be launching … in the next maybe five years.”
