North Penn (Lansdale) is 7-0 this season and looking like a contender for the state AAAAAA title.
As seen in the clip above, the Knights also have a kicker that can lower boom – 5-foot-9 junior
girl Kelly MacNamara.
Saturday against Central Bucks East (Doylestown), MacNamara stayed on her toes following a kickoff and stopped a big return from potentially becoming a touchdown with a thunderous hit on a returner.
MacNamara is the first female to ever suit up for North Penn, a program once led by former Cleveland Browns head coach Mike Pettine and featured in the 1999 ESPN documentary
The Last Game.
