The McDonough NCC Crusaders have never seen a kicker like this: 14 years old and making 50 yard field goals….
The star kicker is a girl: freshman Kacy Stuart: “I was playing kickball in 8th grade and my P.E. teacher saw me kick. He thought I had potential, so I played on his football team.”
This year, Kacy moved. She is now playing football at the New Creation Center (NCC). It’s a private Christian school.
“She’s a good kicker. She has a lot of skill, and we’re just glad she’s on the team,” school administrator Judy Foster said.
NCC belongs to the Georgia Football League. The group oversees athletic programs for private Christian schools and home school programs. Earlier this month, the executive board called the NCC coach and said Kacy was not allowed to play because she’s a girl.
“I thought this would never happen,” Kacy said, “because there’s nothing in the rulebook that says I can’t play.”
You thought rules and fairness had anything to do with this? You thought that if you were the best qualified, you would be allowed to play? Bad girl, bad girl.
Thanks, K B
Let the best qualified play then.
Make all sports co-ed and let the best athletes in the school play on them. That really would be the fairest way.
What where you expecting? She should have married a 40yo man and start spitting babies through her hole by now, that’s the Christian way.
Movie recommendation:
“The Longshots”

It’s about a girl on a Pop Warner football team.
It start the silly-named “Ice T” but is one of those simple, well-done “family” films.
Let’s see…
It’s in Georgia (the deep south).
It’s in a (faux) Christian school.
No, it’s not prejudice, it’s the word of God!
No one would have ever guessed this!
We really should put walls around certain areas of the country and let them rot away. Well, not really, but it would be fun giving it a shot.
Angus…I’m currently coaching a 10-11 year old football team. Girls have played before, and they’re welcome. Some of them have done well, some not. The ones big enough to take a hit can’t run, and the ones who can run can’t take a hit. That’s anecdotal, but in my experience this is the age where strength differences between the sexes become evident, and in this game that’s a huge factor. Kicking, not so much. The next level up is jr high, and some of the boys are near six feet tall, and the girls are starting to become women. It’s not a good mix.
I have always thought stupid boys & girls playing in the same team. It looks cute ’til they reach their early teens.
Sometimes the kicker has to do more than just kick, and it becomes a tackle sport again.
I know facts mean nothing to the regulars here but she plays for a Christian school that fully supports her playing on the team. But don’t let truth get in the way spreading hate.
