MASCOUTAH, Ill. — Residents of Mascoutah and the surrounding areas are being called upon to support the inaugural season of the Girls' Varsity Flag Football team at Mascoutah High School, which is currently holding a fundraiser through Sept. 22, 2025.
The Mascoutah flag football girls demonstrated strong spirit and competitiveness, despite a loss to Edwardsville in their flag football opener at Edwardsville High School on Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2025. Edwardsville will likely emerge as one of the better girls' flag football programs in the state under Coach Hay, so Mascoutah should be competitive the remainder of its season.
