2010 FHSAA Finals
Congratulations to CFOA Crew #1 for Flag Football as they officiated the 2010 State Championship game between Seminole Ridge and Tampa Alonso. The crew consisted of Jason Carroll (R), Brian Valentine (LJ), Mike Gothelf (BJ), and Alexandra Prano (FJ). This was the 4th state championship game for the CFOA in Flag Football since 2005.
Some answers to frequently asked questions:
- The CFOA covers ~21 schools in Central Florida (Orange and Osceola County)
- Games are typically played Monday through Friday in JV/Varsity doubleheaders
- Games are played under the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA) Flag Football rules, with slight FHSAA modifications on equipment. Officials must have a thorough understanding of rules and mechanics as they are followed strictly.
