The PIAA Board of Directors meet on Wednesday in Mechanicsburg, Pa., where girls’ flag football was reviewed and approved on the third and final reading to be designated as a state sanctioned sport.

“We are excited to see such a groundbreaking moment for the future of girls’ flag football,” Steelers president Art Rooney II said. “It has been great working with the Eagles to accomplish a successful ruling that will now give young girls the chance to compete at a state level. We look forward to seeing how girls’ flag football continues to grow in Pennsylvania and worldwide.”

“I’m ready to hear Renegade in the fourth quarter. That’s what I’ve been waiting on,” Queen said ahead of Sunday’s home opener. “I can’t wait to get in front of fans and play our hearts out, play as fast as we can. Give the fans the best game we can and get a win.”

๐Ÿˆ Thursday marks the 20-year anniversary of Ben Roethlisberger’s NFL debut. Roethlisberger replaced an injured Tommy Maddox in the third quarter against Baltimore and never looked back.
