February 11th

Don’t miss Rivertown Film’s presentation of Orwell: 2+2=5.

On January 28, three seniors from North Rockland High School’s women’s flag football team were invited to attend the New York Giants’ Girls and Women in Sports event at MetLife Stadium. The athletes joined more than 150 players and coaches representing 28 Section One schools for a day dedicated to celebrating and advancing opportunities for women in athletics.

The event featured a panel discussion with female sports executives, behind-the-scenes stadium tours, and conversations about career pathways in the sports industry. A key focus of the event was the rapid growth of girls’ flag football at both the high school and collegiate levels.

Held in recognition of National Girls and Women in Sports Day on February 4, the event honored the contributions of women in sports, both on the field and behind the scenes.

Representing North Rockland were head coach Preston Kendrick and seniors Giannie, Isabella, and Kylie.
