This weekend the Kelly Reeves Athletic Complex was alive with activity. Like any typical Friday night in the fall the entire complex on Parmer was bustling with crew, fans and players. The players were the only difference - this time around they were all women.

They play in full pads under aggressive terms, running plays from the same playbooks we all know and love to see. These women are not in lingerie and there are no powder puffs in sight. This is the real deal.
