Through the halls of Stanhope Elmore, there have been excited rumblings about a potential flag football team for the last two years. Last week, SEHS announced it would introduce its inaugural squad for the 2026 season.
In adding the sport, Stanhope Elmore joins the other four Elmore County high schools, which introduced the sport in the last two years.
