Katie Clarkwall parks beneath the stadium lights of Cream City High with two new titles: Ms. Clarkwall, literature teacher-and assistant coach. The field that raised her now belongs to the woman who once taught her how to see the game: head coach Gloria Hernandez. Clipboard in hand, braids tight, voice calm enough to quiet any sideline, Gloria is everything Katie admires... and everything she's tried not to want.

Preseason brings lesson plans, whiteboards, and the state coaches' clinic in Madison-two days, one shared room, and a hundred reasons to keep things professional. But between film sessions and set-piece diagrams, admiration changes shape. What begins with a careful question becomes an answer they can't take back.

Shoot & Score is a tender, high-heat F/F romance about choosing honesty, guarding what matters, and finding a rhythm that belongs to two women who love the game-and each other. No teacher-student dynamics. Just adults, consent, slow burn to fireworks, and a season that might change everything.
