Hey NFLRUSHERS!

Michaela is our latest NFLRUSH Flag Reporter. She has been playing NFL FLAG since the age of 6 and she is now 12. She started to play because she used to watch her older brother play and thought it would be so much fun.

She was the only girl on her 9-11 co-ed team for the past three seasons. She has played in 3 consecutive National Tournament of Champions. This past sason she was her team's captain.

The Pittsburgh Steelers is her favorite team because she loves to watch Troy Polamalu.

Her favorite part of this season was hanging out with all her teammates at the NFL Flag National Tournament of Champions and NFL Pro Bowl in South Florida.

The hardest thing she had to overcome this season was when her team (CT BIG BLUE) won in the final seconds during the regional championship.

She is really looking forward to next season and she hopes to get another chance at attending the National Tournament of Champions. Although, it will be different because she is leaving the (9-11 co-ed) division and heading into the (12-14) Girls.
