Salt Lake City • The question of how many girls would play football for an all-female high school team if given the chance took center stage Friday in a Utah lawsuit filed by a teenage female football star.
More than 400 girls have joined a league that 16-year-old Sam Gordon helped create, more than enough to get started in schools, lawyer Loren Washburn said. "The school district has an obligation to meet student demand," he said.
The districts, though, argue it's tough to gauge whether there's enough interest around the state to create a roster of competing teams for something completely new.
