Laguna Beach teen Bella Rasmussen reflects on journey to becoming 1st girl to score 2 touchdowns in California high school football
A Laguna Beach high school student has become a star in a sport most girls don't play.
Bella Rasmussen of Laguna Beach High School made sports history recently, becoming the first girl in California to score two touchdowns in a game for high-school varsity football, according to "I'm incredibly grateful and blessed to have the people that I do around me to support me and see me succeed," the running back and defensive end said."She was always pushing the envelope," Annette Rasmussen said. "She was always super-ambitious, she was super-physical, always wanted to be rough and tough. People told me all the time there's something special about her, she's gonna do big things in life and I absolutely agreed.
But she doesn't get any breaks either - even when some of the other players have 70 pounds or more on her. "We coach her hard," said head coach John Shanahan. "We have the same expectations for her and she's met all those expectations.""If I don't do my job if I don't protect myself and do what I'm taught to do then yeah I absolutely could get hurt," she said. "But i think at the end it comes down to you gotta be the hammer not the nail."
