Brenda Bloechl, first female on her HS football team

Brenda Bloechl, a junior, is the first female on the varsity football team of Normal West High School in Bloechl, Illinois.

From Pantagraph columnist Randy Kindred's piece, a quote from Bloechl:

"Whenever they ask me, ‘Why are you doing it?’ I’m like, ‘Why are you on the football team? Can’t it be the same reason for me?’ Just because I’m a girl doesn’t mean anything."
