Natalie Randolph one of few women ever to coach high school football

A young lady by the name of Natalie Randolph did the unthinkable; she coached a boys high school football team.

On March 13, 2010 Randolph was formally named the head football coach at Coolidge High School in Northwest Washington, making her what is believed to be the only woman coaching boys' varsity high school football in the United States.

WASHINGTON — When the whistle blew and the opening kickoff sailed through the air on a beautiful late-summer night, Natalie Randolph could finally take a deep breath and focus on the thing she wants to do most – coach football.

After months in the media spotlight, Randolph made her debut Friday night leading the Colts of Coolidge Senior High School. She is believed to be the nation's only female head coach of a high school varsity team.
