Yeah, it's been done. But this one had every element in it at once. I don't blame 'em for writing it, to be honest.

Agreed. It's a good story for the week. next week there will be another one.

Yeah, more and more girls play football. But how many are homecoming queen and kick the GW field goal. I don't see how you can't write this story.

Dude, people write it if the homecoming KING kicks the winning FG.

To be fair, it's not exactly like it was a last-second pressure kick. She put her team up 9-0 with a 31-yard FG just after halftime and they hung on to win 9-7.
 
Now that she is national news it's fair game to investigate if she is sleeping with the QB.

I saw the story in the new room this morning and said, "It's the annual homecoming queen kicks the winning field goal story!"

But it's actually a good story and was an interesting read. I did figure out they led 9-0, so it's not really a game-winning kick.
 
Why don't offensive linemen ever get named homecoming queen?
 
My high school team, briefly, had a girl who kicked - the soccer coach's daughter, nonetheless. The local paper at the time made a big deal of it. She was awful and had to be replaced after the first few games with a soccer-playing exchange student and, if I remember correctly, quit the football team shortly thereafter.

Damn. The high school team I cover has a girl kicker. Unfortunately, she's 5-for-12 this season, and four of those misses have been NASTY blocks (she's only 5-2 and probably 110 after a Thanksgiving meal soaking wet).

You've had Thanksgiving dinner with her? And showered with her? I'm impressed!

Yes, but her family served ham. Seriously -- who serves ham on Thanksgiving and not turkey!

Doesn't matter. Talk about the shower.
