Badin’s flag football team only played its first game a few months ago, but the Rams are already state champions.
The inaugural Ohio Girls High School Flag Football State Championship took place on Sunday in Massillon. Sponsored by the Bengals and the Browns, the event featured four teams representing either team.
Badin took home the inaugural state title with a 40-16 win over Willoughby South.
The other Cincinnati teams were Mount Notre Dame, Seton and Shroder, after they finished top four at the city championships at Paycor Stadium on May 10. Mount Notre Dame beat Badin 19-13 in the city championship game, coming back from a halftime deficit to win its second straight city title.
Badin beat Berkshire 28-25 in the first round of the tournament and then avenged last week’s loss with a 27-21 overtime win over Mount Notre Dame in the second game. The next game, the Rams took the Battle of Ohio with the win over Willoughby South, who went through Shroder and Seton to get to the final game.
Last year in Cincinnati, only six schools had flag football teams. Badin is one of 14 Cincinnati schools to start a program for the 2025 season.
