UCA this weekend will host the 12th annual Arkansas State Flag Football Championship. The tournament is open to all two- and four-year universities and colleges in Arkansas. Forty-five teams will be competing, which represents significant growth since the tournament was founded in 1995 by Laura Monroe and David Dennis, who currently is UCA’s Director of Campus Recreation.
Deane Amyx, UCA’s Intramural Director, is this year’s tournament director. Ninety-five UCA flag football teams, with over 1,200 student participants, competed to represent UCA in the state championships, which will include teams from Arkansas State University, Arkansas Tech University, Henderson State University, Hendrix College, John Brown University, Ouachita Baptist University, Southern Arkansas University, UA-Fayetteville, UA-Medical Sciences, UA-Pine Bluff and UACC-Morrilton.
