Warren Regina players celebrate after beating Bloomfield Hills Marian on Saturday.

   Warren Regina defeated Catholic High School League rival Bloomfield Hills Marian 31-7 in their annual senior flag football game on Saturday, April 24, at Warren De La Salle. It was the fourth straight year Regina has beaten Marian.

   The game was moved to spring rather than its traditional fall date this school year, due to the pandemic. Game video can be viewed here.

   For those not familiar with this event, it is not your typical girls “powderpuff” scrimmage between the junior and senior classes at high schools across the country. Each year, Regina and Marian face off in a hard-hitting, action-packed flag football game with complex plays and great athleticism. The game is played in four 15-minute quarters with official Michigan High School Athletic Association referees.

   The game has come a long way since the teams played in jeans and boys football jerseys decades ago. This year, the Regina players were donned in dark gray jerseys and shorts with teal numbers. Each year the Regina senior class adopts a new nickname for the game instead of its official “Saddlelites.” They picked the “Vipers” this year. The Marian girls played in their traditional blue shorts, blue-and-white striped socks, and white t-shirts.

   The Saddlelites began their flag football tradition in 1965, beating Grosse Pointe Woods Our Star of Sea 2-0 on the football field of their then-brother school, Harper Woods Notre Dame. Members of the Notre Dame boys football team helped coach the girls in the early games.

   Regina would go on to play various Catholic Schools in the 1960s and 1970s, including Detroit Servite Catholic, Detroit Immaculata, Dearborn Divine Child, Detroit East Catholic, Hamtramck St. Ladislaus, and Center Line St. Clement. Regina played Detroit Dominican seven times in the 1970s, winning six. Each of those former rivals has since closed.

   Regina first played Marian in 1981, winning 16-0. The two teams have played every year since with the exception of 1984, when Regina played Our Lady Star of the Sea for the final time. Regina is 35-20-1 overall since 1965 and 23-17 against Marian.

   The rivalry is taken very seriously at both schools. Next to graduation, it is the most anticipated event of the year at each school.

   The physicality, quality of play and intensity in this game rivals that played by boys football teams. There is not a similar game held anywhere else in the state.
