Kaylee Foster’s weekend did not suck.
Foster, who is a senior at Ocean Springs High School in Mississippi, was crowned homecoming queen prior to her school’s football game on Friday. After the ceremony, Foster swapped out her tiara for a football helmet and scored more than half of her team’s points, including an overtime extra point that ended the game with a win.
