FLAG FOOTBALL
+ Plant City to host 48th season

There are no pads, no helmets, no practices, and, technically, no coaches — just good fun and good sportsmanship every Saturday morning at the Otis M. Andrews Sports Complex, 2402 E. Cherry St. For more, contact Recreation Youth Athletics Coordinator Danny Smith, (813) 659-4200, Ext. 4313.
