It was filmed primarily in McMinnville, Oregon. Because of legal issues, various signs were modified to say "Minnville." Tami Maida wants to play quarterback for the high school football team. However, because she is a girl, everyone from the coach to her next door neighbor is against her. Tami goes out to prove that not only can she play football but she can win the state... championship. Not only does Tami succeed, she also becomes the homecoming queen. She proves she can excel at a boys sport and still be feminine.
