If it makes y'all feel better to discount young Mr. Pack's 60 yard field goal, as it is defined in the KHSAA record book and as it has been defined there for many years, then go ahead and look petty. Pack is a sophomore who had already tied Pettrey with a 58-yd. conventional fg. JC is going to win many lopsided games over the next 2+ years. Do any of you really believe that Pack would not have shattered the 58-yard mark if the rule was different?

I know that some coaches would rather throw pass after pass into the endzone, not matter what the score, but I expert that Pack will end his hs career with both the longest conventional fg and the longest free kick fg. So, if your goal is to allow another Matney-coached player yet another state record, then start lobbying the KHSSA for a rule change tomorrow - but nothing is going to prevent Pack from rewriting the record book.

Hoot PLEASE show me where anyone is trying to discredit the kid. Please

It IS a State Record - agreed
It IS a FG - agreed
It IS a GREAT accomplishment - agreed
The kid is a GREAT kicker with a VERY bright future - agreed

So what is so wrong with discussing the two different types of kicks?
