Girls basketball team lets rival school's injured captain score one last basket
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Two girls basketball teams in Missouri put their rivalry on hold this week to give an injured player a memory that will last a lifetime.
Fox High School, who was playing Windsor High School in Arnold on Monday night, let their opponent’s team captain score a basket for one last time.
Windsor senior guard Kaylee Johnson has been out for the season with a knee injury, but she was put into the school’s starting lineup that night, KDSK reports. It was Windsor High School’s senior night.

“I just thought it was the best thing ever that he would allow me to have that moment,” Johnson told KDSK.
Donald said it was the “right thing to do.”
