State champions for the 2015-16 winter season
Here is a recap of every team that won a state or Clark County School District (flag football) title during the 2015-16 winter sports season and will be looking to defend this upcoming season. With the new realignment, there no longer will be Division I, I-A, III or IV, but instead Class 4A, 3A, 2A and 1A.
Faith Lutheran, Clark, Sierra Vista and Spring Valley all will be moving from Division I-A to Class 4A after clearing the Nevada Rubric point total for the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons. No schools moved from Division I to Class 3A.
Also, flag football officially will be a sanctioned sport by the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association this season.
Stay tuned for the Spring edition.
