COVINGTON, La (WGNO) - Despite the Covington Lions strong lead many of the players had a mix of anxiety and excitement when one of their junior kickers took the field for the extra point.

This moment, whether leading to a score or a miss, would be a historic one for the school. Loraine Weiskopf, a junior at the school, stepped on to the field and after an offsides call kicked the football right through the yellow poles becoming the first woman on the Covington Lions team ever to do so, and now the first to score a point.

Weiskopf has traditionally been kicking soccer balls, only recently switching to footballs; an experience she says is far different. But Weiskopf is getting a lot of help from her fellow teammates and first string kicker Ian Connolly.

The other kids on the team say she is now just one of them.
