B As she was on her way to her first practice as a member of the school football team, she didn't know what to expect being the only female on the football team. She describes the nerves flowing through her body as she neared the entrance of Don Lugo's campus and the amount of faces turned towards her as she approached her new team. “Some of them were shocked to see me out there, cause I'm a girl especially, but they support me with everything, said Mackenzie Aguilera. Aguilera is that “she" on the Don Lugo School football team, being the first ever female kicker on Don Lugo School and the only female kicker placed on the Mt. Baldy League depth chart. Luckily, the experience of playing with boys has made her feel like one of them, as her teammates don't treat her any differently gender-wise. However, not everything went as planned throughout her first few games as Lugo's school kicker. After only a couple days following Lugo's game against Tustin High, heartbreaking news was brought to Aguilera as her mother lost her five-year fight against breast cancer.

Throughout the tears and drawbacks, Aguilera was able to get back on her feet as an athlete with the help of her coach and teammates, who supported her during these rough times.
