Sam Gordon, 9-Year-Old Football Superstar!

First season in a pee-wee boys' football league: 35 touchdowns, 1900+ yards rushing, 232 carries, 8.2 yards per carry, 65 tackles!

Oh, and "Sam" is short for "Samantha."

Here's a highlight reel, 3 minutes, 23 seconds. You can't always tell at first which player is her -- until she comes rocketing out of the pack carrying the ball! And football isn't pattycake; she takes some pretty serious hits. On one play, she breaks five tackles on her way to the goal line (and then there's the 65 tackles she made). I'd be concerned about her getting injured, but football isn't even her number one sport. Her dream is to play pro soccer -- a much better choice, I'd say. Go Sam!
