Three state championship games so far. Three games where a missed XP or FG affected how the game was played or even the overall outcome.

I wish I could say this is an anomaly with these title games, but it seems like all year there are just fewer teams with real top notch kickers anymore. It seems like it is happening at the college level also, where the kickers are becoming less and less "reliable" for lack of a better word.

So is it just me or does it actually seem that football is starting to veer away from prioritizing good kicking. Or is it simply that there aren't as many good kickers out there anymore. When I played we always had a pretty good kicker, but that player was also a soccer player that came out for us to kick. So maybe we're just seeing of less of the crossover at the high school level?

Any thoughts on this?
