Home Coming Queen Kicks Winning Field Goal for Football Team

A Michigan girl is wowing classmates on and off the field at her high school.

Brianna Amat, the first female to play on Pinckney High School's varsity football team, kicked a 31-yard game-winning field goal on Friday and was crowned homecoming queen during the game, MyFOXDetroit.com reports.

Amat was already a soccer star at Pinckney High. She told her soccer coach she wanted to kick footballs as well. Head football coach Dan Burholder was impressed, so he put her on the team. Friday night was Amat's biggest game against Grand Blanc, who was ranked No. 7 in the state.

Amat got a note at halftime telling her to come out of the locker room. To her surprise, she was crowned homecoming queen during the game.

With five minutes to play in the third quarter, facing a fourth and goal, Burkholder called Amat to attempt a 31-yard field goal -- a career-best distance. Amat made the kick, sending Pinckney to a 9-7 win over Grand Blanc. The crowd went nuts, but Amat says she only heard silence because she was so focused on the game. Amat plans to attend Western Michigan University and major in business advertising

JOKES....X 4

One day, a young man who worked at a driving range picked up a dozen or so range balls and took them home with him, stuffing them into his pants pockets. On the bus home, an old lady sat next to him and he had to scrunch them up just to make room for her. Soon he noticed her staring at his pockets. Slightly embarrassed, he said, "It's all right ma'am, they're just golf balls." She nodded and smiled sympathetically. But a few moments later she asked, "Tell me, sonny -- is that something like tennis elbow?"

Two senior couples are walking along, the wives in front, the husbands in the rear. One man says to the other, "We went to the best new restaurant last night." "Oh, really? What's its name?" The first man thinks a while before responding, "You're gonna have to help me out here. What do you call that common, sweet-smelling flower that grows on a thorny bush?" "You mean, a rose?" "Yeah, that's it!" he cries, then calls ahead to his wife. "Hey, Rose! What's the name of the restaurant where we ate last night?"

A husband and wife were pulled over by a policeman. "Sir, do you realize you were speeding?" The husband replied, "I wasn't speeding." His wife said, "Oh, yes you were. You were going 20 miles an hour over the speed limit!" The husband said, "Will you just keep your mouth shut?" The policeman said, "Sir, I can also cite you for not wearing your seatbelt." The husband said, "I was wearing it, but I took it off to get out my license." His wife said, "Oh, no you didn't. You haven't worn it all night!" The husband said, "I thought I told you to shut your mouth." The policeman looked across the car. "Excuse me, ma'am. Does he always talk to you like this?" The wife said, "Oh, no, Officer; only when he's drunk!"

**************** From 1880, the era of gunslingers and gentlemen comes a tale of a young man who longed to be the fastest gunslinger in the Wild West. As he wandered into the Sawdust Saloon in Dodge City, Kansas Territory, he was surprised to see Bat Masterson playing poker. He ambled over to Bat. "Mr. Masterson, I want to be a gunslinger just like you. Could you give me some tips?" Bat Masterson looked up over the tops of his cards. "Well, son, let's take a look at you. You're dressed all in black, with two ivory-handled six-shooters in ornate silvered holsters -- yep, you look like a gunslinger. But the question is, son: can you shoot?" Eager to show his talent, the young man quickly drew the pistol from his right holster and, without aiming, shot off the cuff link on the piano player's right sleeve. Bat Masterson whistled. "Good shooting, son. But how's your left?" Before the question had left his lips, the boy had drawn the pistol from his left holster and, without aiming, shot off the cuff link on the piano player's left sleeve. "What do you think of that, Mr. Masterson?" Bat Masterson smiled. "That some damn good shooting, son. I couldn't do better than that myself." He cleared his throat before continuing. "But I do have one suggestion." "Oh?" the boy asked. "What's that?" "Go back to the kitchen and ask the cook where he keeps his lard can, then stick both of your guns down deep in the lard." "What? Are you crazy, old man?" the youngster laughed. "Why should I do that?" Bat Masterson tilted back his chair. "Because son, when Mr. Wyatt Earp gets done playing the piano, he's gonna shove those guns right up your ass!"

Single mother discovers her long-term boyfriend is actually a WOMAN

A single mother has told of her torment after discovering how her long-time lover tricked her into believing he was a man when in fact she was a woman.

Nicole Lindsay was shocked to learn the 'boyfriend' she hoped to marry was a lesbian sex offender called Samantha Brooks.

Police told her that Brooks, who she had always known as Lee, was once jailed for abusing a 14-year-old girl.

The bizarre story of how Nicole, mother of two daughters aged six and two, was fooled emerged when Brooks was arrested.

She was charged with obtaining sex by deception from Nicole and another former friend and two counts of assault.

Nicole said: 'When the police told me Lee was a she I just couldn't believe it. I was in shock. I've been through hell.

'The thought of how Lee deceived me and my whole family has given me nightmares and made me feel sick.'

Nicole described her relationship with Brooks who used modified a wooden toilet roll holder in their sexual relationship.

She said she was uncomfortable being naked in front of a partner while Brooks claimed he felt the same way after suffering testicular cancer.

Brooks even conned her into believing her body had been scarred by a previous partner as the reason she wore bandages around the chest - which hid her breasts.

She first made contact when Nicole was 14 in 2001. But they did not meet until 2006 by which time she had a baby girl, aged 18 months, but was not with the father.

They began a long-distance relationship staying weekends at each other's homes before breaking up in 2007. Later that year, Brooks wrote saying she was in prison for beating up a paedophile.

Nicole admitted: ' I didn't think too badly of him [Samantha]. I can understand the provocation.'

But unknown to her Brooks had been jailed for 18 months at Isleworth Crown Court of sexual offences against a girl of 14 and put on a sex offenders' register for 10 years.

After her release, Brooks got in touch with Nicole, now a mother of two, and she even proposed marriage and set a date for the wedding in March 2010.

But Nicole's family grew suspicious of the 'man' who had no facial hair or an Adam's apple.

Nicole told the People: 'I didn't believe Lee could be a woman. We had been having sex on and off for years. But I knew he was hiding something.'

She was finally told the shocking truth last September when police arrested Brooks and she was called to a police station.

But her anguish did not end there,. Police dropped the case before it came to trial when Nicole's former friend withdrew her co-operation with prosecutors.

Nicole, from Glasgow, agreed to give up her anonymity to warn unsuspecting girls about Brooks.

When approached, Brooks, from Uxbridge, north west London, declined to discuss her behavior or her previous conviction and denied she had met Nicole
