The play ends at the time the flag is pulled. There is the occasional play that ends with a player on the ground but not as physical as the usual version of American football. Flag football has been set up to be played every Friday during spring term and fall term. The game has almost come to an end for the term as summer nears. The weather hasn’t been cooperating this term as much as some play ers would like. Since weath er hasn’t been good, it has caused keeping the game in question. This last week, its fiiture was brought in ques tion at an Associated Student Government meeting. Bailee Sanders, Associated Student Government Vice President at Clackamas, said, “In the ASG meeting, it was discussed to potentially cancel flag football for the remain der of the term because there hasn’t been anyone showing up to play. It was then decided to still provide the opportuni ty seeing as the term is almost over and in hopes that more students will come out.” There are many people at the school that are happy that ASG decided to let flag football stay.

Weather permitting, of course. One of these people is Ashley Spring, a studenFat Clackamas. Spring said, “I’m glad they didn’t cancel it because I wanted to go play. I wanted to try it out.” Weather isn’t the only rea son people haven’t been show ing up to play. In these times students have jobs, classes and outside obligations. To add flag football in there is just another thing students would have to juggle, so instead of showing up, students are deciding against it. Jen Borowczak, Gra Officer of ASG, said, “ expect it to be back in f but it depends on what eve we decide.
