Throughout the country, college sports are a very big deal. Many of these college teams have massive fan bases that exceed even professional team rivals. Some even have good luck charms which they believe deep down inside helps them win. For this team, a very special girl helps lead them to victory every time!

Many teams will do anything they can to gain a winning edge. For the University of Kentucky Wildcats women's basketball team, their edge is an 18-year-old fan called Marlana VanHoose. This beautiful young girl was born with cerebral palsy and underdeveloped optic nerve that left her blind, but that hasn't stopped her from developing a love for the game. She had the opportunity to sing the national anthem at the Wildcat games, and the team is 4-0 in those games. She has brought luck and love to team she loves and it is amazing!
