After being honored last weekend in Ocean City as the Athletic Director of the Year by the Maryland State Athletic Directors Association, Frederick High athletic director Keivette Hammond is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast.

Hammond chats with host Greg Swatek about the honor and how it fittingly coincided with the state's athletic directors voting to make a sport she championed from the very beginning, girls flag football, an officially sanctioned varsity sport in Maryland just three years after its inception here in Frederick County.

She talks about the growth and impact that girls flag football has made on the high school sports scene statewide and the opportunities it has generated for young female athletes.

Hammond also talks about her biggest role models and influences growing up and how they helped shape her as a person, as a coach and now an athletic director. She also talks about how sports can be a great vehicle in the lives and young people and create opportunities for them that they might not have expected.

Prior to that conversation, FNP sports reporter Alexander Dacy joins Greg to discuss girls flag football becoming a varsity sport in Maryland, two former Frederick County football players, Jalen Huskey and Cameron Dorner, joining the NFL as a draft pick and priority free agent, respectively, and the upcoming spring sports playoffs for Frederick County teams.
