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 eight athletes nominated this week for the High School On SI's Heartlands Florida high school girls flag football player of the week award from February 17-22, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected. Voting will conclude on Sunday, March 2nd 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:

Kamila Watt, Avon Park 

Watt was the top ball carrier for the Red Devils and rushed for 135 yards on nine carries and two touchdowns. 

Daphne Goff, George Jenkins

Goff had herself a day throwing rock in a win over Lake Region, completing 12-of-17 passes for 122 yards and four scores. 

Myah Batts, George Jenkins 

The freshman athlete was sensational in a 49-7 win over Lake Region, totaling 181 all-purpose yards and three total touchdowns.
