Harry Mimms of Lawrence North High School has been named the first-ever Colts Flag Football Coach of the Week, the Indianapolis Colts announced today.

Mimms earned this recognition after being nominated by his fellow coaches and athletic directors from the Colts Girls High School Flag League. Last week, Lawrence North lost a hard-fought game to Ben Davis, the Wildcats' first-ever official contest. Mimms' role as head coach has been proven effective, as evidenced by the growing popularity of flag football in Lawrence Township.

This season marks the first year the Colts are recognizing outstanding high school girls flag football coaches throughout Indiana. Each week following a girls flag football weekend, one coach will be announced as the honoree.

All head coaches within the Colts Girls High School Flag Football League are eligible regardless of their school size or region. Coaches are evaluated on various factors including the coach's impact on the team, school and community, as well as the team's performance. The honorees are nominated by their fellow league mates, consisting of coaches and athletic directors.

At the conclusion of the high school girls flag season, each winning coach will receive a $2,000 donation from the NFL Foundation, as well as a commemorative plaque.

The Colts have prioritized flag football development to introduce the game to a new generation of athletes and fans, particularly girls who traditionally have not had the same opportunities to play the game as boys. The Colts created the Girls High School Flag League in 2023 with eight high school teams from Indianapolis and South Bend. This year, it expanded to 27 teams with five divisions across the state.
