This game is over once the boys mature.
Fun is watch women do other things. Football is not one of them.

She will grow out of it.

Track is in her future
The guys are afraid to hit her. They all pull back when she gets near them.
When she’s in high school and has a displaced neck fracture, it won’t be cute.
eyep....but she could probably make the transition to track
She can hire an ACLU lawyer to then sue the school for letting her play in the first place. The liberal lawyers really know how to jury rig the system.
When I was that age the fastest athlete in our elementary school was a girl. By 7th grade she couldn’t keep up with the boys. The difference in athletic ability usually doesn’t show up till later.
When I was coaching youth football — One of our opponents had a girl on their team (ages 11,12,13) — My boys were all concerned about hitting “a girl.” I explained to them that she wasn’t a girl, she had a number on her jersey just like they did and therefore she was a football player and if I caught any of my boys treating her unfairly by not hitting her as hard as they would a boy they would get 50 push-ups and two laps around the track in full gear.
Her coach pulled her from the game in the second quarter.
That..........is nothing short of amazing. I’ve never seen anything, or anyone, like that little thing. Unreal.
At my old high school about twenty years ago the boy's basketball was awful. They won three games all year. The girl's team was excellent and went to the state tournament. One of the players was first-team all-state. Some people I know asked me if I thought the girls could beat the boys. I told them honestly the boys would beat the girls by about 80-100 points. I coached basketball in those days and am still a huge fan.
By the time both sexes reach their late teens, males are on average quite superior to females in athletic ability. You'll find a lot of great female athletes who are better than a lot of good males, but you'll never have a female good enough to make a men's team in a professional sport. Unless it's something like holding the ball for the placekicker. Or substitute foul shooter in basketball. In short, some sort of trickery. Like Bill Veeck and Eddie Gaedel.
When I was coaching soccer, little girls at that age were also sometimes more aggressive than little boys, especially if they had older brothers. Some of them stuck with soccer and are playing in high school, but most of them lost interest as they got older, and got into gymnastics or horses.
