The groundbreaking story of the National Women’s Football League, and the players whose spirit, rivalries, and tenacity changed the legacy of women’s sports forever. In 1967, a Cleveland promoter recruited a group of women to compete as a traveling football troupe. It was conceived as a gimmick—in the vein of the Harlem Globetrotters—but the women who signed up really wanted to play. And they were determined to win. Hail Mary chronicles the highs and lows of the National Women’s Football League, which took root in nineteen cities across the US over the course of two decades. Drawing on new interviews with former players from the Detroit Demons, the Toledo Troopers, the LA Dandelions, and more, Hail Mary brings us into the stadiums where they broke records, the small-town lesbian bars where they were recruited, and the backrooms where the league was formed, championed, and eventually shuttered. In an era of vibrant second wave feminism and Title IX activism, the athletes of the National Women’s Football League were boisterous pioneers on and off the field: you’ll be rooting for them from start to finish.

Just as their season was due to get underway. New Orleans' only college football team was forced by Katrina to evacuate and then relocate several times before settling in the northeast Louisiana town of Ruston for the balance of their season. For four months, the team battled doubt, fear, and uncertainty, playing "home" games on the road while they pondered if New Orleans would ever feel like home again. While each of Tulane's players dealt with a distinct sense of loss that season, several of the players native to New Orleans were hit the hardest as family homes were left uninhabitable and families were scattered across the South. Led by their strong-willed head coach, Chris Scelfo, the team learned the definition of perseverance as they struggled to stoke their competitive fires on the field while their lives remained in disarray off it. Benjamin Hochman, an award-winning journalist for The Times-Picayune, spent the 2005 Tulane season on the road with the team. Book jacket.
