Jana Kenney became part of a unique group Saturday when she kicked a field goal and an extra point in the Dexter football team's 16-6 win over Mount View.

That's right, SHE. Kenney, who plays field hockey for Margaret Veazie at Dexter, joined the small sorority of female football players. Among that group is Katie Hnida, who was the first woman to score in an NCAA Division I football game. Hnida kicked two extra points for the University of New Mexico in a 72-8 win over Texas State on Aug. 30, 2003. Hnida is now an author and a motivational speaker.

Kenney's kicks were one of several feats on the gridiron this weekend.

South Portland won its first football game in nearly three years with a 14-6 win at Cheverus. Up north, John Bapst of Bangor defeated Mattanawcook Academy, one of the Eastern Class C favorites, 22-20.
