In our Friday Night Fever Spotlight, Luke Lyddon introduces us to Bailee Ramirez, a kicker at Westview High School who is breaking barriers
Westview senior Bailee Ramirez is helping break barriers for young women as the sole female player on the Westview Knights football team."I wanted to join all the sports at my school, to be honest," Ramirez said."So I was like let's throw this season in too and I decided to join the football team. It's been very welcoming."
It can be daunting to be the only female in a male-dominant sport although Ramirez doesn't view it that way. The senior believes anyone can achieve the dreams they've set out ahead of themselves as long as their hard work follows. The city of Phoenix is home to five major professional sports league teams; The NFL's Arizona Cardinals, NBA's Phoenix Suns, WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury, MLB's Arizona Diamondbacks and NHL's Arizona Coyotes.
