Jun. 6, 2007 at 1:37 PM I remember when i was in grade school, I wanted to play basketball w/ the boys and girls club, but at that time they only had boys teams, so the first year i played on an all boys team, just picture me w/ my little blonde pony tail and pink high tops.............the next year they started girls teams.  Maybe shell be remembered for doing something she wanted and not taking no for an answer.

that is great I am glad that she is doing what she wants to and that she doesn't let them get her down we have girls on our football team and they get slack cause they are playing a boys sport so we just encourage them and tell them to hang in there and never let anyone say you can't and to tell you the truth the girl are better then some of the boys who have been playing since they were 9 years old..tell her I said way to go and show them who is boss..lol..
