A D.C. high school hired a woman to coach its varsity football team.
Natalie Randolph will be introduced Friday as the head coach at Calvin Coolidge Senior High School.
Coolidge principal Thelma Jarrett said Randolph "quickly emerged as our top choice."
Randolph replaces Jason Lane, who resigned.
The 29-year-old Randolph was an assistant coach at another D.C. high school, H.D. Woodson, from 2006-08. She also played in the National Women's Football Association.
In New York, Debra Vance coaches Lehman High School's football team in the Bronx.
