When the Seminole Ridge Hawks defeated the Chiles Timberwolves for the Florida High School Athletic Association's (FHSAA) Class 3A state championship, it was a feat that the program had pulled off back in the 2016 season.

The Hawks were able to notched title No. 6 in a 26-2 victory over the Timberwolves and the win caught the eye of a certain former NFL quarterback who knows a little bit about winning championships.

"Hey guys, I wanted to give a huge shout out to the Seminole Ridge varsity women's flag football team . Florida state champs, baby. What? A great accomplishment. It says so much about you guys and your commitment to each other. To all the toughness, belief in what it takes in winning for one another. You guys didn't just win. You dominated! You guys out-scored your playoff opponents by like 150 points. That's crazy! I never even did that. Coach (Scott) O'Hara, coach Taylor clearly had this team locked in. Congratulations to you guys both. I know that sacrifice it takes to win and reach the top by showing up every day for one another. By pushing yourself to the max limits every day and playing for something that's bigger than yourself and you guys did that. Super proud of you. No. 1 in the flag football team rankings in the country. Way to go and let's go Hawks."
