I was delightfully surprised to find out that on the Monroe Catholic Rams football team there's a girl kicker. Primarily a soccer player, Christin Davis is a first year football player. At 4-foot-10 she's about a foot and 100 pound less than most of the players but she gets up there with the boys anyway. For Monroe's game against the Valdez Buccaneer's last Saturday she put on her mascara and painted her nails Monroe yellow to punt and make those extra-point kicks that led to their 61-14 victory against home team Bucs.
And she's not the only girl varsity football player in Alaska. There's another girl on Eielson's team and apparently in North Pole.

In the Anchorage School District they have girls' flag football which seems super cool. Wish they had that when I was at Chugiak High.
