Female kicker Becca Longo makes college football history

She is the first in Chandler Basha history. She is believed to be the first in Arizona history.

It is not known, but former Basha football coach Gerald Todd introduced Becca Longo during a signing ceremony in school's gym on Wednesday morning as the first female in the country to sign a college football letter of intent for a program in NCAA Division I or II.

Longo, 5-foot-11, 140-pound kicker, signed her national letter with Division II Adams State in Alamosa, Colorado.

"I contacted them during the season, and after the season I got contacted back by them," said Longo, who made 30 of 33 point-after tries and connected on a 30-yard field goal her senior season. "The offensive coordinator (Josh Blankenship), he told me he wanted me to come out for a visit."
