    In this poem it talks about a little girl named Sophia Burns. Sophia talks about how playing on an a boys team affects how she plays. One piece of this poem that I really enjoy is that she is the only girl on her team and if any boys are mean she will bring the best game she’s got and prove the boys wrong.
