Longest High School Field Goal

[Chakra30]

Saw it on sportscenter this weekend. Im not sure what the national record is but some kid kicked a 64 yard field goal this weekend.

[turtle72]

it was a 67 i thought..pretty impressive either way...our kicker can hit like 45-47

[ambiguousrock]

I believe Kody Bliss kicked a 62 yarder in a game his senior year.

jeff hall...frankling county has the tennessee record with a 63 yarder...

Didn't Willhoit from hendersonville kick like a 62 or 64 yard field goal

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.

I happened to be at that game in Franklin County that night. The most impressive thing about that kick was it was pouring rain & the field was very sloppy. If I remember correctly it was the last play of the half.

Wasn't it against Oak Ridge in the playoffs? I saw a very long fieldgoal that night at Franklin County. Like in 1991?

Where are all of these "power legs" now? The NFL???

[WesVLT]

Bliss is the starting punter for Auburn, and his BA placekicking counterpart, John Vaughn, is the Tigers' starting kicker. Both were preseason All-SEC.

i was reading TSSAA and the record for a state tournament is 62
