IRVINGTON, NJ — The Irvington High School girls flag football team will host Dickinson High School, of JerseyCity, and East Orange Campus High School on Thursday, April 4, in the season opener at 5 p.m.
Irvington, under head coach Kyle Steele, is one of the top girls flag football teams in the state. In 2021, the Blue Knights played in the first state championship game, which took place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford. Irvington, unfortunately, lost to Passaic County Tech.
The Blue Knights redeemed themselves in 2022, capturing the state championship with a win over Hawthorne High School in the final at the New York Jets facility in Florham Park.
Irvington is led by senior starting quarterback Janasia Wilson, who led Irvington to the state title in 2022. In December, she participated in the inaugural U.S. Army Girls Flag Football All-American game at the Dallas Cowboys headquarters field in Frisco, Texas, and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player.
