A hot summer morning, the sun's heat reflects off the turf as a football team practices. A football sails high into the air finding the out stretched hands of a streaking receiver.
Linemen crouch in there stances, preparing to fire off into blocking dummies.
The Quarterback calls out the cadence, before turning and handing the ball to a sprinting running back. At first glance, you don't notice the ponytails, but upon further review you notice the football team is made up of women. A feeling of excitement hangs in the air, and even though it is hot as hell, all of the players are grateful to be there, like it has been a long time coming. Weeks before on a rainy Saturday, Heather Workman and Molly Winters got in a car and drove two and a half hours from Connecticut to Massachusetts for a tryout. They spent the last couple of weeks begging for a chance, and now they both had it.
