If you’re of a certain age (*ahem* my age), there’s a good chance that when you were in elementary school, they didn’t let you outside for recess when it was raining or snowing, and instead you sat inside and watched movies. There’s also a decent chance that one of the movies you watched over and over again was a donated VHS tape of The Little Giants, featuring Becky “Icebox” O’Shea, a girl whose own uncle wouldn’t pick her for the pee-wee football team no matter how kickass she was… because she was a girl. The movie’s got a lot of stuff going on, but Becky’s plot arc is one where she struggles with being the only child of a single parent, a teen with her first crush, a tomboy who feels pressured to conform to femininity so that boys won’t overlook her as a romantic prospect, and so good at football that she scares the pants off her teammates. In other words, she was awesome.
Erin DiMeglio, though, is another level of awesome, as a high school student who may be the state of Florida’s first female quarterback to play in a regular season high school football game.
