The date was Sept. 15. It was Molly Wilson’s second varsity football game.
Rockville (Conn.) was playing SMSA. With a minute and a half to go in the game and Rockville trailing by a point, the Rams’ offense was stalled around SMSA’s 10-yard line.
Rockville coach Erick Knickerbocker looked down his bench at Wilson. Her one extra point attempt in the game had been blocked earlier, a blemish after going 5-for-5 in her debut against Windsor Locks a week before.
