KENOSHA, Wis. (Thursday, Oct. 15, 2026) \u2013 After a successful inaugural season, the Tremper High School Trojans girls flag football team has earned a spot in the first-ever state tournament, marking a historic milestone for the program and girls flag football in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n
The Trojans are among the teams making history in the growing sport. Throughout the season, Tremper has demonstrated the teamwork, dedication and competitive spirit that make the program an exciting new opportunity for Kenosha Unified students.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we first started summer preseason practice, I really had no idea how it would go. But the girls were so dedicated and committed to improving. Then, on our first day of tryouts, we had almost 40 athletes. It just took off from there,\u201d said Tremper Girls Flag Football Coach Kelly Marschel. \u201cThe girls made individual and team goals for the season, and one of our senior captains, Jada West, made the best team goal of going to Green Bay to play in the state playoff tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGoing to state means so much to me because from day one, my mindset was set on doing something special in our very first year of girls\u2019 flag football. We came into this season with a goal, and now we have the opportunity to make that goal a reality,\u201d said Tremper senior and team captain Jada West. \u201cThis is bigger than just flag football. We\u2019re breaking barriers and creating a legacy that will last forever. I\u2019m proud of every girl who has put in the work, trusted the process and believed in what we could accomplish together.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody can take away what we\u2019ve built or the impact we\u2019re making over the short amount of time. We\u2019re not just playing for ourselves; we\u2019re playing for our school, our community and every little girl who will come after us. This is only the beginning of something special, and I\u2019m proud to be part of a team that\u2019s making history.\u201d<\/p>\n
For the student-athletes, the season has given them the chance to learn a new sport, build relationships and represent their school in a growing program.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaking history in this first season has been so much fun. Since we first started, we have gotten so much better and exceeded everyone\u2019s expectations for this team,\u201d said Tremper student Mallory Meier. \u201cI\u2019m very honored to be a part of the very first flag football team at Tremper, and it feels very special to be playing with all of these girls growing the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m still so happy that we have made it to state, and I can\u2019t wait to see the amazing competition from around Wisconsin!\u201d<\/p>\n
