Girl's Flag Football Wins First Game

Amanda Healy and Chance Mingo took advantage of the blustery conditions and, together, helped their team make history.
Healy threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Mingo early in the second half for the game’s only score and Katelin Martin, Madison and Mackenzie Cates and Brooke Friedman keyed a defense that led West Hempstead to a 6-0 win over Freeport on April 28 for the school’s first-ever flag football victory.
