game, special thanks to ATVN\u2019s own videographer, Alyssa Sheckler, who stood out in the rain in the nearly three-hour contest with me capturing all those big moments (there was no press box, overhangs or coverings so we really appreciate her efforts!)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The DCIAA in Washington, DC officially kicked off its 2022 flag football season in the DMV, with Bannecker playing Coolridge in the first game of the year.\u00a0 After so many hurdles for this particular sport to get on the field, it was great to hear that they have played a week\u2019s worth of games without any difficulty.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight:

(of course, the last game was postponed due to rain).\u00a0 The ATVN cameras will also be joining me for a rare Colonial League doubleheader this Wednesday.\u00a0 The weather \u201cshould\u201d be
