Flag Football Player of the Week: Pope’s Carly Oubs

Carly Oubs, a senior at Pope, is GHSF Daily’s Flag Football Player of the Week. Pope was 7-0 last week in games that Oubs played. Oubs, a wide receiver/cornerback, had 423 receiving yards for 10 touchdowns, intercepted three passes, returning two for touchdowns, and pulled nine flags while typically playing little more than a half. Oubs is a soccer player committed to Cincinnati who is playing flag football for the first time. “She’s really fast and athletic but has some of the best hands I’ve ever seen in flag football,” Pope coach Kevin Fraser said. “She’ll go up and high point it, something you don’t often see. She’s truly a coach’s dream. Even when she’s not getting the ball, she runs her routes as hard as she can. All effort all the time.”

GHSF Daily, in partnership with the Atlanta Falcons, will recognize a Flag Football Player of the Week each Monday through the December state finals. The Falcons will provide a “Falcons Care Package” of souvenirs and merchandise to each weekly winner at the end of the season. Nominations can be sent by Sunday each week by clicking here or replying to this email.
