Isla David of Cole Harbour, N.S., plays as a kicker on the all-boys' football team at Auburn Drive High. The 16-year-old athlete just completed her football season as the only girl on the Auburn Drive High Eagles' team in Cole Harbour, N.S., earning the championship title with her teammates last week. David said she grew up watching her brothers play tackle football, but she's always played flag football. "And everyone was like, 'She should play tackle, she should play tackle.' But she doesn't think she'll continue to play football in university, because of the lack of opportunities for young women in the sport.
