We did have a heated discussion (or some want to consider it heated) about girls playing football. Well, had a game last night, which was the first I can remember a girl actually playing a HS football game. She was a Defensive Tackle and she held her own. She was tough and was clogging up many plays run her way. She was not spectacular, but she let her presence (there goes that word again ;)) be felt. I had no problem with it, my partners had no problem with it. If she did not have a very long ponytail running down her back, I would have never known in the first place she was a girl on the field.
Side note to this story, New Mexico State (I might have the wrong school), just had a female score the first points for that gender in a Div. 1A game. So for the idiots that wanted to say I was against this (Mr. N.....), I think it is kind of cool. But then again, I still do not believe that little girls are going out in waves to play football. But for those that want to, more power to them.
Peace
