KETTERING, Ohio — As a young girl, Holley Mangold loved the contact of football and would even show off her bruises as a badge of honor.
"I thought they were really cool," she said.

That toughness will be tested this year when the 17-year-old senior prepares for playing time at Alter High School in this Dayton suburb — helping anchor the offensive line, fending off girls-shouldn't-play-football attitudes, and trying to emerge from the shadow of her brother, Nick, center for the New York Jets and a former standout at Ohio State.

"It's really rough. I'm not going to lie about that," she said of trying to make her own way in the jet wash of her brother's accomplishments.

Holley has the physical tools and strength. She weighs 315 pounds, bench presses 265 pounds and has squatted 525 pounds...

Their was a girl in my high school who played linebacker for three years. She lead the team in tackles her senior year. I’m not sure if that is because we suck or she was that good. I was third on the team with tackles my senior year, but we still suck. I didn’t play for Massillon
