Nora is a tenth grader here at Allatoona and has been part of the flag football team for two years now. Nora’s favorite part of being on the flag football team is the unity that comes with being on the team and the sense of family it provides at school. She thinks she was picked for Athlete of the Week because she is not afraid to speak up and be a leader when necessary. Coach Coggins says, “She was our starting quarterback this game. She led the team in most tackles and pass break-ups.” Nora’s advice for younger players is to “not be afraid of making mistakes. It takes time to learn how to do that but make sure you are patient with yourself; it will make you grow as a player and as a leader.”
