2018-19 Virgin Valley Flag Football Capsule

VIRGIN VALLEY

Head coach: Joey Bowler, seventh season

2017-18 record: 17-4 (10-0 3A Sunrise/first)

Returning letter winners (starters): Seven (four)

Top players: S/RB Julia Ramirez, S Macee Bundy, RB Nikita Eskelsen, CB Nataly Serna

Outlook: The Bulldogs have advanced to the Class 3A state title game each of the last two years, but return only four starters from last year’s squad.

“Virgin Valley lost 12 seniors last year to graduation and will rely on four talented returning starters to anchor this year’s varsity team,” Bowler said. “The new varsity players are excited to rebuild on the success of past teams and look forward to a competitive season.”
