Bliss's kick was a 61-yarder. I was the statistician for that game. It was the only time BA scored in a 10-3 regular-season loss to McCallie.

 

The two longest field goals in state history were both kicked in games involving Brentwood Academy. Jeff Hall's record-setting kick was against the Eagles, and Bliss played for the Eagles.

The only trouble with those record setting field goals is the fact that they rarely have anything to do with the outcome of the game.

 

I saw Dustin Wynn of Middlesboro, KY set a new state record in 1997 with a 54 yarder, and another in1998 with a 57 yarder. Both of those came near the end of a decided game, with the wind at his back, and purely for the record.

 

Don't get me wrong, it was still fun to watch, and the kid had to have the leg and accuracy to even attemt it. That's why you won't find my name mentioned anywhere. I have no talent for it at all.

 

The new Kentucky record is 58 yards by Aaron Petry of Raceland set in 2003.

 

I wish TSSAA had more of the fun facts that you can find at http://www.khsaa.org.

 

I also look at the Virginia (VHSL) site, and it's really bad by comparison.

    • If an attorney sees enough merit in the case they will take it and only collect if their client wins. Happens in civil cases all the time. 
    • Groves got the ball over 20+ times. His son arguably played the best for East in that game. 3rd and long multiple times and he came up big to continue a couple drives. Please shut up for the 3rd year in a row
    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
