We just received the newest issue of Sports Illustrated and I had to share this with you ....
Check out these two 'local' girls! (Pelion is in Lexington County - our neighboring County to the North!)
Elizabeth Mitchum, Kaci Poole - - - - PELION, SC > Football
Elizabeth (far left) and Kaci, junior kickers at Pelion High, are believed to be the first two girls to score points for the same team in a varsity football game; on Sept. 12 each kicked an extra point in a 42-13 victory over Wagener-Salley.
I just got off the phone with Coach Ben Freeman of the Fighting Panthers Football Team, Pelion High School. He tells me that both of these girls were soccer players and they just decided they wanted to kick :) and boy can they kick.
Elizabeth has a strong leg and is the starter!! She has made 13 out of 14 extra point attempts. Kaci has had two chances to kick and made one of them - the one we read about in Sports Illustrated :)
These young ladies are very talented, that's for sure! WAY TO GO GIRLS!!!!! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU BOTH :) Keep it up and I'll be looking for y'all in the NFL in a few years. You both R-O-C-K!! I hope you both make the varsity team next year!
