Sabrina Brunson became first female to officiate SEC football game last night

With the Terry Wilson injury scare dominating the headlines following last night’s win, one story that has been overlooked was that of Sabrina Brunson.

Brunson became the first female to ever be an official for an SEC football game when she lined up as a line judge in Kentucky’s victory over Eastern Michigan.
