Overview

Set in Portland, Maine, Girls Can Throw Too follows Hunter Nowak-Martin, a fiercely competitive and emotionally guarded high school junior who shocks her community by becoming the first female starting quarterback at Milton High.

But under the helmet, Hunter is battling more than just blitzes and broken plays—she’s battling perfection. Constantly judged as a girl in a male-dominated sport, she struggles to balance her parents' high expectations with a whirlwind of romantic feelings she never saw coming.

Hunter unexpectedly falls for her basketball rival, Kai Taylor—sharp, stylish, and composed. Their relationship feels solid... until Skyler, Hunter’s artsy, emo, and emotionally intuitive best friend, confesses feelings of her own. Now, as the Panthers prepare for the biggest football rivalry of the year, Hunter finds herself torn between loyalty and curiosity, steady love and the thrill of the unknown.

Her closest confidant, Amos—a magnetic and flamboyant drama student—keeps her grounded (and laughing) as they prep for the school talent show. But everything shifts when Kai becomes the surprise kicker for their rival team... and her ex, Luca, resurfaces.

Misunderstandings build. Boundaries blur. And one ill-timed kiss threatens it all.
