MIDDLETOWN, Pa. — Local football standout Drew Scales has been named Penn State Harrisburg’s first women's flag football head coach, Director of Athletics Rahsaan Carlton recently announced.
"We're excited to bring Drew on as our very first women's flag football head coach," Carlton said. "He's been heavily involved with flag football for several years now and has a passion for helping grow the women's game, both at the collegiate and youth levels."
Scales, a former star at Slippery Rock University and Central Dauphin High School, founded the Capital Area Flag Football League in 2021 and continues to serve as commissioner for the organization. The co-ed youth league serves more than 300 participants each year and has raised more than $10,000 for local youth and high school football programs since its inception.
Scales has served on the Central Dauphin coaching staff as the varsity wide receivers coach since 2017. Under his guidance, a pair of Central Dauphin players have earned All-State recognition, while four players have been named Mid-Penn All-Conference during his ongoing role at Central Dauphin.
Scales graduated from Slippery Rock with a degree in business administration in 2017. Read more about Scales on the Penn State Harrisburg Athletics website.
