The Suffolk County Girls' Flag Football league has reached the halfway point in the season and besides being an enormous success there are some big story lines around the county.
This season is being defined by some huge individual accomplishments. Half Hollow Hills star Samantha Heyman is leading the league in rushing yards with just under 600 but it's her 12 scores on the ground that really has opened up some eyes. Heyman has rushed for two scored in five of her last six games. If that wasn't enough, she also sits 4th in the County in yards passing being just short of 1,400 yards and her 28 passing TD's is just one off of the leader. All eyes will be on Heyman as she continues her trek to claiming the title of best player in Suffolk County.
Rocky Point's Kylie Hagan is about 100 yards shy of leading the County as she sits in 3rd place overall but her yards per carry is eye popping. While Heyman has the lead in yards she has 70+ carries to Hagan's 45.
Longwood's QB Delaney Israel leads the league in passing yards with nearly 1,700 yards and her 13 TDs is impressive but what might be most impressive about her season has been it has been mistakes free up until this point with a 0 next to her interceptions count. Pat-Med's Mackenzie Hughes leads in passing TDs with 29 and she sits in 3rd place on the leader board for passing yards.
On the receiving end of things there are four different players with 8 or more TD catches, and we are watching a real battle at the top of the yards race with Longwood's Giselle Harris barely edging out Pat-Med's Angie McGrath by only a few yards.
