This News Story Makes Me Smile :)

"When Henry County (Ga.) Community Christian School was naming its homecoming court, Katie Davidson knew she wouldn't be a part of it. After all, the sophomore place kicker wouldn't even be eligible; Community Christian school rules dictate that all potential female members of the homecoming court wear a dress to the annual homecoming game.
"Davidson couldn't fulfill that court demand, for a good reason: She's the starting place kicker on the Community Christian 8-man (8-person?) football team. Yet when Davidson was nominated for the court, the school thought so much of the sophomore that it changed its official homecoming regulations to allow female court members to wear dresses … or football uniforms.
"The change paid off, as the place kicker -- who is the only place kicker in school history, after joining the program as an eighth grader for its initial season in 2009 -- was elected as the school's new sophomore princess."
If ever there were a situation that called for a "YOU GO, GIRL!," this is it.
