POBJFKHS Flag Football Stars Attend N.Y. Jets Event

Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School (POBJFKHS) star flag football players Rachel Ganz and Julia Kesselman, along with coaches Alec Abramowitz and Christine Ho, attended the second annual high school girls flag football media day hosted by the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in February.

The event brought together 38 teams from New York and New Jersey, featuring player interviews, media sessions, and insights from USA National team members. The flag football Hawks, two-time champions entering their fourth season, have achieved back-to-back undefeated seasons and boast a 38-game winning streak, including last year’s Division I state championship victory.

“This is such a cool experience,” senior receiver Rachel Ganz told Newsday during the event. “I’m so grateful to be here and stand among so many other great teams. Everyone on our team knows it’s an expectation for us to win a championship again this year. The pressure comes from us, and we’re ready to work harder to achieve it.”
