(Marrero, LA – April 15) – The Academy of Our Lady’s flag football team is off to a strong start this season. So far, they’ve won two of their first three games under the leadership of Coach Joel Lutz.

Recently featured in a WDSU news segment highlighting girls’ flag football as the fastest-growing high school sport in the New Orleans area, the team continues to gain momentum and recognition. Earlier this year, Coach Lutz was honored by the New Orleans Saints at Super Bowl Opening Night, where he was surprised with tickets to Super Bowl LIX.

“All glory to God,” Lutz shared. “I’m just grateful for the opportunity to coach these incredible girls.” Principal Sr. Michelle praised Lutz for the values he instills in his team—teamwork, perseverance, and faith.

As the season continues, the Penguins are playing with heart, purpose, and pride.
