Glendale kicker Charlie Wistrom, daughter of ex-NFL defender Grant Wistrom, has impressive debut

Charlie Wistrom aimed for the top of the football before sending it into the ground with a crafty right kick.

Glendale High School's rookie kicker proceeded to watch the ball bounce into the air, giving her cohorts ample time to recover the onside attempt.

The first try was successful. So was the second.

It appeared to be a natural sequence for the pint-sized sophomore.

"I'm usually pretty successful with the onside kicks" Wistrom said after Friday's 21-6 home win over Bolivar. "But the deep kick was a struggle."

Booming kicks or not, Glendale coach Mike Mauk witnessed some efficiency from his latest addition.
