Quest to kick a 40-yard FG for $20,000 (2 Viewers)

[The Noid]

Best part for me was that my 11 year-old, who is the kicker on his JV team and a big Eagles fan, got to take about 5 kicks after everything was done. He thought it was cool just being there, then he got the chance to boot a few.

 

[Das Boot]

It's so cool that Noid and Lizard Kings were both in this. Would've loved to see a better ending for either of you. I'm still interested to hear if the winner makes it so let us know. Homemade video posted here is even better! Thanks guys.

Dang, that was close.

At least it was a close miss instead of a worm-burner.

He'll always remember that.

I made a 30 yard FG at the Cowboys stadium at a corporate event last year.

It's a fun thing to know you've done.

This is simple (though probably too late from the date, and I havent read anything), but have someone who kicks really well pose as you. Done and done

67 yard FG by HS kid

 

[jon_mx]

Damn, he killed that ball. He had pretty good height and several yards to spare on his distance.

 

[El Floppo]

and with the game on the line... amazing kick.

eta: the way that thing moved though- I'm guessing he had some decent wind behind him?

My guess is that this kid will be kicking in the NFL someday

 

[Guest]

Amazing kick. The reaction of the kid in the endzone was priceless.

That put the game into overtime, but did they win?

Probably as a punter. Checked his college stats. Doesn't look like he's that accurate as a PK.

Well he was still a freshman.... his kickoff stats are pretty good though

Oh I'm sure his KOs are great. He's 9 of 14 FGs this year as a sophomore with a long of 47 yards.

ETA: I'm in no way trying to put the kid down. Best of luck to him.

The 67-yarder puta him in third place all time. But the guy I read about that has the longest, a 68 yarder was off a tee. So for me this guy should hold the record if the other kicks were off a tee. Accuracy is an easier hurdle to overcome than distance. This kid should have a future

I disagree, and so do many former/cut NFL kickers.

Nonetheless, the kid is a high school sophomore, let's or judge his accuracy just yet.

Actually he is a college sophomore. When he kicked the 67 yarder he was a HS Senior....

I thought this was a new story. My bad.

Yesterday was the game for the $20k kick. Great conditions, not too windy, not cold at all.

The kick was up.

It had plenty of distance.

But it was wide left by about 8 feet.

I don't think he even got a consolation prize.

Yeah bummer for him.... maybe we can expect to see another challenge next year since nobody won?

 

[Johnny Rock]

Thanks for the update. That suxors. Sounds like the guy made a good showing for himself.

No consolation prize after all that blows too.
