Mackenzie Joined the Football Game

When I was out at the park there was this group of guys playing football. I love to play football even though I don’t play football on my school team. But anyways I asked them if I could play and they all laughed. They said that a girl can’t play football so I said “then you won’t have a problem then if I play.”  So during the game I tackled like 5 of the guys, scored 2 touchdowns and grabbed tons of fumbles made by the other team.

At the end of the game my team lost but practically every guy there came up to me and said sorry that they said I couldn’t play and they actually admitted that I was better then anyone there and they hoped I would come play with them again soon. I sure showed them.
