The Florida High School Girls Flag Football season is in full swing and we begin our Player of the Week polls for areas all around the state. Teams have started off the regular season with some great individual performances.

As such, we have seven athletes nominated this week for the High School On SI's Florida Heartlands (Polk, Hardee, Highlands, DeSoto counties) high school girls flag football player of the week award from March 24-29, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected. Voting will conclude on Sunday, April 6th at 11:59 p.m. The winner will be announced in next week's poll. 


Editor’s note: Our corresponding poll is intended to be fun, and we do not set limits on how many times a fan can vote during the competition. This poll is specifically for fans to vote on the players that have been nominated and in no way discredits any other player that may not be mentioned in our poll.

Here are the nominees:

Zebrielle Canaday, Haines City

Canaday is showing each and every week why she's one of the better players in the state bar none. The junior athlete total 220 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns in a 25-7 win over Ridge Community.

Gilliana Frenel, Haines City

Alongside of Canaday making plays on offense is Frenel, who rushed for 67 yards on seven carries and scored twice in a 19-6 win over Auburndale.

The junior do-everything was making plays all over the field in a 41-6 rout against Discovery, totaling 98 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns.
