Riley is now in the running for the Maxwell Club/NFL National Girls Flag Football Player of the Year Award. The winner will be selected later this month and will be honored at the 88th Maxwell Awards at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta in March. “The opportunity to continue the Maxwell Club’s mission of promoting all aspects of football and amplifying the amazing efforts of young women who are pioneering the game of flag football is a great honor,” said Mark Wolpert, executive director of the Maxwell Football Club. “The players, coaches and organizations who have championed the development of the game are to be commended, and the opportunities that now exist for girls and young women will continue to grow.
