TAMPA, Fla. \u2014 In the Hillsborough County flag football world, there\u2019s a huge responsibility that comes with being a Robinson Knight.<\/p>\n
And for players like Sarah Williams, understanding that she stands on the shoulders of the giants that came before her is a big part of that responsibility.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe girls and the coaches create such a good environment that I love to be in, and I want to always help perpetuate that environment,\u201d Williams said.<\/p>\n
This junior wide receiver makes herself at home on the football field. And this season, it\u2019s been home sweet home. She\u2019s the Knights\u2019 leading receiver, and she doesn\u2019t just lead her team with her 256 points, she leads the nation. And while she may be the nation\u2019s best at scoring points, that\u2019s not what stands out about her.<\/p>\n
\u201cHer desire to always give back and always make sure that she\u2019s promoting the sport and leading,\u201d said head coach Josh Saunders. \u201cYou know, she\u2019s our future head captain, so I think that hopefully is what her legacy\u2019s going to be, including some really awesome play.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier this season, Williams and her teammates attended the annual Game On Girls Summit, which featured a panel of female industry leaders who offered words of wisdom and real-life advice for on and off the field.This gathering included some of the Tampa Bay area\u2019s top flag football programs.<\/p>\n
And Robinson has been at the top for more than a decade. The Knights have won 10 state championships, including nine in a row. <\/p>\n
How do they do it? The Knights put in the work. They practice year-round and fine tune those workouts during the season. And they\u2019re successful because of players like Williams who embrace everything that comes with being a Robinson Knight.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a lot of pressure, but you have to take it and just run with it because everybody has the same goal at the end, and we all want to support each other through it,\u201d Williams said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s really what makes us so tight-knit.<\/p>\n
\u201dBecause we all have the same goal in mind, and we embrace the pressure and thrive from it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TAMPA, Fla. \u2014 In the Hillsborough County flag football world, there\u2019s a huge responsibility that comes with being…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":272290,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[1238,1236,1745,3745,13013,115,110,135,137,136,835],"class_list":["post-272289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-app-sports","tag-florida-sports","tag-high-school-football","tag-high-school-sports","tag-katherine-smith","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news","tag-vod"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=272289"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272289\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/272290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=272289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=272289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=272289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
