The crew consisted of referee Nicole Randolph, head line judge Caryn Jackson, line judge Delonda Little, umpire RanDee Henry and back judge Kamaria Douglas. Jackson said at about noon on the day of the game, the magnitude of the moment and knowing what was about to happen really started to hit her.“It had 23,000 engagements in an hour,” she said.“For my children, I always tell them to leave your mark wherever you go and whatever you do,” Jackson said. “Be a part of history. Who knew I would be referring high school, let alone doing it with all women? It feels good when I walk the football and people are cheering just because they see a woman.
