Canady, stricken with breast cancer, finds therapy as first female Division I referee.
Byline: Nat Newell
COLUMBIA, S.C. _ She shouldn't be here.
Annice Canady became the first female official to work an NCAA Division I football game when Delaware State and Morris Brown opened the season Aug. 31 in Atlanta.
During her decade-long recreation and high school officiating career she heard the foulest curses, had officials refuse to work with her and encountered a succession of people who didn't believe she belonged on a football field.
This has nothing to do with gender. Canady shouldn't be here because cancer could have killed her three times.
"When I was out there on the field I started thinking about it and I thanked the Lord for being here," said Canady, 45, who will be a line judge for Saturday's Benedict-South Carolina State game at Williams-Brice Stadium. "Starting in 1990, I used football as a therapeutic outlet and now look at the track I'm on.
"Battling what I've gone through, nothing can stop me."
