    MOORE, Oklahoma (KOCO) -- At a Southmoore football game on Thursday, a 7-year-old girl named Scout lived out her dream of singing in front of a huge crowd.

It takes a lot of guts to sing the national anthem publicly, much less do it when youโ€™re 7 years old. KOCO 5 caught up with Scout Terrel at the game and asked her how long sheโ€™s been a pro at this.

โ€œUm, about four years now,โ€ Scout said.

And her biggest motivation?

โ€œMaking people happy,โ€ she said.

Despite the long lyrics in the song, she acted like it was no big deal.

โ€œMy mom, every day, would be just singing in the car, and I would follow along with her,โ€ Scout said.

The young singer has come a long way to get to this point. In 2018, she was diagnosed with a life-threatening blood disease called hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, or HLH.

But after lots of treatment, she beat her disease and has been in remission since 2020.

Sheโ€™s got bigger dreams than just singing at a high school football game.

โ€œMy dream is to sing at an OU game,โ€ Scout said.
