On gridiron, women more than belles of the ball

It seems that most male dominated sports today actually have a pretty even female counterpart — baseball and softball, men’s and women’s basketball, track, golf, cross country. The list goes on. Notice how football didn’t make the cut. An extremely physical contact sport, football demands a certain...

‘I can hear the bells, just hear them chiming’

It was waiting for me. Purple calligraphy letters innocently marked the envelope and its contents as mine. A single silver heart sticker that sealed the flap split evenly in two as I ripped the envelope open. When the purple accented invitation slid onto my desk, I knew my fears had been confirmed. My...
