Jasmine Plummer

December 6, 2003 08:32 PM posted by kerri : track it (0)

Jasmine Plummer is an eleven year-old from Illinois.

What makes her so cool is that as quarterback, she will be leading the Harvey Colts into the national Pop Warner tournament (Junior Pee Wee league) in Florida next week. She is the team leader, a national youth wrestling champion, a youth track star and an honor student.

She is also the only female to play quarterback in the 56 years this tournament has existed.

The photo has been changed since the original posting of this because now I was able to find one of Jasmine. When the story was first released, there were no papers online posting her photo. So, now y'all can see what the quarterback really looks like.

The Chicago Tribune has a picture of the young lady. Her team, the Harvey Colts of Harvey Illinois, could use some very real $$$$ support. I am sure that they have been put through the mill for letting a girl lead them, regardless to her skill and abilitiy. Hopefully, they will be rewarded for their support and pioneering effort.

Thanks...I'm going to do another search. As cute as the girl is in this picture, it's not the same as having the actual quarterback's photo up.
