17-year-old Andrea Wells is undecided BOUT pursuing flag football or participating in cheerleading at Crane high school. Monday’s girls flag football event enticed her to give more credence towards playing flag football.

“I didn't know I was going to enjoy myself this much right now, but it's fun,” Wells said. “It pushes me back into thinking about joining flag football this year.”

In partnership with the Chicago Bears, Ledley King — who played his entire career for the Premier League’s Tottenham Hotspur — traveled from England to participate in Monday’s girls flag football event at Crane, the alma mater of Bears founder George Halas.
