Red Colts Put a Ring on a Perfect Season

The Half Hollow Hills girls flag football team had a special night at MetLife Stadium last week, receiving a championship honor in front of a crowd of New York Jets fans.

The Red Colts were honored during halftime of the Jets' preseason game as they received their NYSPHSAA Class A state championship rings, officially celebrating one of the most successful seasons in the program's history.

And what a season it was.

Half Hollow Hills capped an incredible 19-0 campaign by capturing the school's first-ever state championship in girls flag football.

The undefeated season was a remarkable accomplishment for a program that continues to help establish girls flag football as an important part of the high school sports landscape across Long Island and New York State.

For the players, getting their championship rings was already going to be a memorable moment. Doing it at halftime of a Jets preseason game made the celebration even bigger.

Instead of receiving their rings in a gymnasium or at a traditional school ceremony, the Red Colts got to walk onto an NFL field and be recognized in front of thousands of football fans.

It was a fitting setting for a team that put together a season worthy of the spotlight.

The 19-0 record tells only part of the story. The Red Colts consistently found ways to win throughout the season before putting the finishing touches on their historic run with the state championship.

Now, the players have the rings to prove it.

For Half Hollow Hills, the championship represents more than just another trophy for the school's athletic department. It marks the first state title in girls flag football in school history and gives the players a permanent reminder of the season they put together.

Girls flag football has exploded in popularity throughout Long Island, and teams like Half Hollow Hills are helping push the sport forward. The Red Colts' undefeated championship season shows just how competitive the sport has become — and how quickly programs can establish themselves among the best in the state.

A 19-0 season is impressive under any circumstances.

Doing it while making school history makes it even more memorable.

And now, every member of the Red Colts has a championship ring to remember it by.

The Red Colts’ 19–0 championship season is now officially part of Half Hollow Hills history, with the team’s next milestone being how the state title is helping grow girls flag football across Long Island.
