[Strikeout King]

Gender boundaries in high school football are slowly becoming a thing of the past.

Girls have thrived at place kicker on numerous teams, and last year, Erin DiMeglio took reps at quarterback at South Plantation.

Count Michaela Malloy as another pioneer for girls playing pigskin, as the 14-year-old attempts to make the varsity squad at McCann Tech (North Adams, Mass.) as a freshman playing on the offensive line, a position traditionally dominated by the biggest, heaviest, most physical boys on a team.

According to the North Adams Transcript, this is Malloy's fourth season of playing football, which she learned from her father, who taught her proper blocking technique.

"I just like the contact sports," Malloy told the North Adams Transcript. "I'm really not a girly-girl."
