Hanna Moftman is a kicker at Los Osos High School. She enjoys playing football because she has always desired to compete with a team.  

“I am very competitive. I also wanted to play a team sport. So I thought football is perfect for that,” Hannah said.

When she started high school, she decided that she would try football. Her parents thought this was a bad decision, but they went along with it.

“When I told my parents that I wanted to play football, they were surprised and thought I was crazy,” said Hannah.

She knows that there is a possibility that she could get tackled and may even suffer an injury.

“I know that I’m going to get hit. It is going to happen, but I will have to get up and keep playing. It is part of the game,” she said.

Aside from the gridiron, Hannah has also played soccer on the girls’ team, though she says that soccer is actually more requiring than playing football.  

“I have more to do at soccer than I do when I go to football practice.”
