Homecoming Queen Helps Team Win Football Game

When Kaylee Foster asked her Mom if she could play football, there was only a slight hesitation before Mom suggested “Go ask your Dad!” It’s less unusual for females to be on the school’s football team now than in previous generations. For girls like Kaylee who have a dream of playing on the team, those dreams are now becoming a reality. We love her Dad’s response when she asked if she could play on the football team: “Life’s an opportunity, go see what you can do!”

And that’s just what Kaylee did. She joined her Ocean Springs High School football team as a kicker. With the support of her parents and teammates, Kaylee was able to achieve her dream of playing football.

“They’ve always been very welcoming of me and what I’m trying to do. They don’t treat me any differently.”

But then something truly special happened– Kaylee was chosen as Homecoming Queen. It’s obvious that Kaylee has worked hard at not just her sport, but also at winning the hearts of her school peers. There is no question that they are proud of what their fellow student has accomplished!

Kaylee was crowned Homecoming Queen just hours before the big game. Changing from evening gown to jersey Kaylee didn’t disappoint. She scored two field goals during the game… and the game winning point! When her kick flew towards the goal posts, it was obviously a spot-on attempt. Her fellow students and friends cheered from the bleachers. It was mere seconds before the entire team, her “brothers”, flooded the field to celebrate their hard-fought victory. What a huge accomplishment for this talented high schooler!
