different institutions, from around the state of Georgia to compete in
the annual flag football tournament. These teams fought through the
cold in an attempt to become victorious and earn the title of 2008 State

Men's Division, The Hitmen from the University of West Georgia defeated
the Delivery Boys from Valdosta State University in a battle to the
end. In the Women's Division, Da Squad from Georgia Southern

the weekend there were many players, and teams that demonstrated great
athletic qualites that every flag football team desires and strives
for. These players and teams are chosen by the All-Tournament
