ROANOKE, Va. – High school football: Bright lights, big crowds, pom poms and pony tails, and not just worn by the cheerleaders.
"You get out there and you don't even recognize the difference, but it's pretty cool to have a girl come up and at least want to be part of football," said Hidden Valley junior varsity coach Devin Chappell.
Breezie Derosha is not just part of the football team, she's a starter on the offensive line.
"When I first started, I didn't really know what to do so they had me go to the line and I just stayed there," Breezie said.
She started playing football at a young age, following in her brother Jordan's footsteps. She stuck with it and played on the middle school team before moving up to JV.
"When she wanted to do it I'm like, 'as long as your big enough, strong enough and work hard enough you don't get hurt.' As a mom you're worrying about that," said Breezie's mother Laurie.
When the 66 jersey is on, she is one of the guys, but being a female in a male dominated sports, it's suiting up that's the biggest obstacle.
"Truthfully the locker room. She's got to make a 100 yard trip to the locker room every day going back and forth. That's really the only difference of having a girl because they just can't run right in and change and get ready and do what everyone else does," Chappell added.
The Titan football program is all about family, and the coaches and players welcomed Breezie into theirs.
"They've been very gracious, brought her in and treated her like one of the guys, made her earn her spot and they've treated her like part of the family," said her father Tim.
Breezie isn't held back by stereotypes, and puts in the extra work to make up for her lack of size.
"Guys naturally have more upper body strength, so that definitely a big part for it, I just work as much as I can in the weight lifting room," she said.
Breezie isn't the first girl to play high school football, nor will she be the last. But her and her family want to show that with heart, anything is possible.
"If you want to put in the work, do it. Do it. Who says it has it has to be a boys sport. My daughter plays football," Laurie said with a smile.
