Jan. 30, 2020 -- Two kickers from the Heights High School football team are featured in a Microsoft ad set to air during the Super Bowl on Sunday.

 

A photo of Olivia McKay and India Pulphus appears in the ad at 0:49. The 60-second advertisement for the Surface tablet celebrates female leadership in football, specifically San Francisco 49ers coach Katie Sowers. On Sunday, Sowers will make history as the first woman ever to coach in the Super Bowl.

 

“I want anyone who sees my story, not just women, to know that anything is possible if you truly believe it and work for it,” Sowers said in a statement. “Your gender, your sexual orientation, your skin color—those are all just a part of what makes you who you are—those things should never limit how far you can go in this world.”
