Caroline Pla just won her fight to get back on the field. Pla has been playing football since kindergarten, and for the past two years, the 11-year-old has been holding her own on the gridiron. Her playing time with the Catholic Youth Organization ended after last season when the Archdiocese of Philadelphia enforced its "boys only" policy for football, sidelining the All-Star guard and defensive end.

Despite the panel's recommendation, on Thursday Archbishop Charles Chaput ordered the archdiocese to allow girls to play CYO football, according to a statement.
