Yes, I’m a girl who plays football!

imagesCAZ6EQIUEver since I was little I have loved to play sports. The difference was I liked to play boy sports instead of girl sports. Hi I am Cameryn and I am in the sixth grade.

When I was six, I started to drag race. I raced motocross at the time, too. I have done both all the way till now. Just this year after playing football at recess every day since 3rd grade, I have been on a pee- wee football team called the Titans.

I remember the draft like it was yesterday. I was picked on the best team and I hit the other teams as hard as a rock. Through most of the first game they asked “are you a girl?” and soon as the QB said ‘hutt’, I nailed the person who asked me if I was a girl and walked away and said does that answer your question?

I played Wide Receiver and Defensive End. We won every game and ended up being superbowl champs. It’s summer of 2011 now and I don’t know if I can play 7th grade football but I love football soo much. :) Hope I helped.
