RIGBY – After eight regular-season games and a pair of semifinals, a champion was crowned in the East Idaho Girls Flag Football league.

The Rigby Steelers held off the Thunder Ridge 49ers 28-16 on Monday night, concluding the league’s second full season.

East Idaho Girls Flag Football features three teams from Madison, one from Thunder Ridge, one from Bonneville, one from Shelley, and five teams from Rigby.

There’s also a league for seventh and eighth graders that has six teams.

A spring season was also added this year as the sport continues to grow.
