Neva Spadafora, Olamide Fadahunsi, Chiamaka Ivenso and Emily Rocha will represent Team Ontario at national championships
Coach Junior Labrosse and the St. Benedict Bears have clearly been at the forefront of the push for girls tackle football in Sudbury.
A member of the St. Benedict girls’ flag football team in the fall, the Grade 11 speedster at least had an inkling of the appropriate position for her. Of course, running behind Olamide Fadahunsi might also mean that Spadafora can avoid contact until she is seven to eight yards into the opposing defense – even if the terminology might have thrown her Nigerian-born teammate for a loop, initially.
“I was sweating a lot, wondering do I want to do this – but I had already committed,” she said. “The first practice was horrible – everyone was panting and sweating – but coach just kept telling us that it was going to get better as you go.”“If they think I am good enough, I guess I am,” she said. Soft-spoken and quite charming by nature, Ivenso explained that there is an inner competitor that can become unveiled in the heat of game action.
