When she was a student at Walton-Verona High School, Susan Egan wasn't allowed to play football with the team, so a decade later she did the next best thing. She became a game official.
Since then, Ms. Egan made history.
When she officiated at the state eight-man championship game Nov. 17 between Eminence and Kentucky Country Day in Frankfort, Ms. Egan be came the first woman in the nation to wear the referee's white cap during a state championship football game.
Ms. Egan, 48, who lives in Ludlow, is an account administrator at Bartlett & Co. in Cincinnati. She has been an official since 1980 and is the only woman in the Northern Kentucky Officials Association.
John,
This was written in 2000.
