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 10 athletes nominated this week for the High School On SI's South Florida high school girls flag football player of the week award from March 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 30th 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:

Rakyia Louis, QB, Miami Edison

The senior quarterback went off in a 42-0 win over Jackson, completing 18-of-26 passes for 302 yards and six touchdowns.

Annabelle Rodriguez, RUSH, Coral Park

Not many can amount to the kind of day that Rodriguez had last week in a 27-0 victory over Hialeah Educational. The senior tallied 11 flag pulls and four sacks.

Ariana Stoveall, QB, Boyd Anderson

Stoveall was on fire in the Cobras' 53-0 rout of Fort Lauderdale, with the quarterback completing 13-of-16 passes for 172 yards and six scores.

The sophomore signal caller had herself a big night in the Crusaders' 41-0 victory over Sports Leadership & Management, throwing for 147 yards and four touchdowns.
