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.

Never said what he dis wasnt impressive. Whats even more impressive is all the events that have to lead up to the situation. It takes skill to simply kick a ball 60+ yards, not to mention kicking it in just the right spot. I never said i thought the kid couldnt do it in a traditional kicking situation. All i said was free kick vs standard kick records should be put in different categories. I never took anything away from the kid. He is a sophomore and will more than likely break his own record a couple if not several times. I just hope its in a regular field goal situation.
