“High school football is the heartbeat of Texas, and seeing more and more girls take the field through flag is a reminder that the game is bigger than any one team,” said Dallas Cowboys Chief Brand Officer and Co-Owner Charlotte Jones. “Teaming up with the Texans for our state championship is about more than just crowning a winner, it’s about opening doors, celebrating talent and growing football for a whole new generation of young women. The future of girls flag football is incredibly bright and we are proud to be a part of a journey that is only just beginning to show its power.”<\/p>\n
“We are thrilled to partner with the Cowboys to host the first-ever girls flag state championship as we continue to work together to grow the game we love,” said Houston Texans Chief Community Officer and Vice President of the Houston Texans Foundation Hannah McNair. “When our high school girls take the field, it will be another shining example of the pathway we are building from youth participation to the pros in this sport. We know that football changes lives and we are proud to inspire the next generation of female athletes and future leaders across the great state of Texas.”<\/p>\n
