South Plantation's Erin DiMeglio Breaks High School Barriers as Girl QB

[xxenderwigginxx]

Erin DiMeglio, a 17-year-old girl wearing an iconic ponytail, is a pure athlete in every sense of the word.
She is passionate about her sport, loves to compete and plays with such intensity that she continues to earn the respect of her teammates.
When girl's basketball lets out, her teammates just happen to be South Plantation's (Florida) high school football team.
Christy Cabrera Chirinos of The Sun Sentinel reports some inspirational news in the form of DiMeglio actually getting some reps as the third-string quarterback in a preseason game.
It wasn't a gimmick or some over-hyped antic from a wacky coach that saw her enter the game. It was a matter of a high school athlete who wanted a chance to play and earned entry into a game based on merit.
As it should be.

1. This is how you create social change.

Some high school coach is going to do this. Quarterback (or I'd bet kicker first).

I really don't like American football very much.

But I do not understand why baseball hasn't crossed this barrier, not even in the minor leagues. Shame on them.

2. That's a terrific story!

GOOD for her!
