Texas High School Kicker Joins Elite Group of Female Football Players

K-Lani Nava made history this week by becoming the first female football athlete to make the box score in a Texas state championship game when she tallied 18 points to help Strawn High School win its Class 1A Six-Man Division II title by the count of 78-42.

She made 9 of her 10 extra points (one was blocked and in six-man football extra points count for two points and field goal for four.)

Watch her nail her first extra point with ease despite the potentially intimidating surroundings of AT&T Stadium — home of the Dallas Cowboys.

"My thoughts were … it was just another field," Nava said about playing inside Jerry's World. "It's any other field that anyone would play on. I didn't think about the whole state thing, it was like the first game of the season for me."

Here's what else she had to say after her historic outing.

Nava joins this elite group of boundary-breaking women that have played on a gridiron typically dominated by male athletes.

Katie Hnida – New Mexico

In August of 2003, Hnida became the first woman to score a point in the FBS when a pair of extra points for New Mexico sailed through the uprights against Texas State. 

Before transferring to the Lobos, Hnida became only the second female ever to dress for an FBS contest and the very first to suit up for a bowl game while at the University of Colorado.

Becca Longo – Adams State 

In 2017 the Grizzlies made Longo the first ever female football player to receive a scholorship. She rewarded the school by nailing 30 of 33 extra point attempts this season, including converting her only field goal attempt of the year from 30 yards out.

Liz Heaston – Willamette

eAn NAIA program at the time (now D3), Heaston became the first female at any division of college football to get on the scoreboard when she drilled two extra points on October 18, 1997 against Linfield College.

Ashley Martin – Jacksonville State

On August 30, 2001, Ashley Martin became the first woman to play and score in an NCAA contest when she booted three extra points in the Gamecocks' 72-10 throttling of Cumberland University.
