Coniglio Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 45-55 yr kick Bob Knight can probably throw a chair that far. 45 and 55 are two different worlds in HS kicking. Want to be more specific? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goosevol Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I believe Oliver Springs' Jake Johnson has hit one from 67 in practice. He's hit from 53 in a game as a sophomore and had 5-10 yards to spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MO$$$$ Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 The way some teams are promoted on here they dont need a kicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonepirate Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 The way some teams are promoted on here they dont need a kicker. In normal field goal range we just go for it on 4th down most of the time. Heck I even get nervous when we try to kick an extra point.

FridayMainEvent Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 A kicker can be a huge asset in high school ball. If for no other reason then for kickoffs. If you have a kid who can put it in the endzone 50 % of the time, making a team go 80 yards to score is always an advantage. I'd like to see them change the rule and allow a kickoff to be run out of the endzone. This year, the rule should help us since our Kicker, MoMo, does have the leg to put his kickoffs in the endzone. He did it several times last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putboobieincoach Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 creek wood has a very good kicker, Sam Shelton. has been a starter for all of his 4 years. but as someone said earlier kickers dont win high school games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's hit from 53 in a game as a sophomore and had 5-10 yards to spare. You mean 67 feet right? The NFL game high is 63. Done twice. I know a guy who can kick it 65+ barefoot. Passed on a scholarship to kentucky Again, 65 feet maybe. See above reason. The way some teams are promoted on here they dont need a kicker. That is the bloody truth.

goosevol Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 You mean 67 feet right? The NFL game high is 63. Done twice. I said Johnson's hit from 67 yards in practice. His long in a game is 53 yards. Back in the 80s, Tennessee signed a kid from Nevada named Dirk Borgonone (sp?) that hit one from 68 yards in a high school game. He never made it at UT though because for as long as he could kick it, he kicked it about as wide. Never was very consistent. One good thing about high school is that if you have a kicker with a great leg then you might as well try a long field goal because if the ball reaches the end zone the other teams starts from the 20. It's not like college where they would get it from the previous spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
