I see what you did there, and this comment will never get the laughs it deserves.

The kick measured 68 yards, and was longer than any that had ever been successfully kicked in the NFL or the NCAA.[1] Borgognone was thereafter relegated solely to kicks of over 50 yards after his kick and missing all eight of his subsequent attempts, not kicking a single successful field goal the rest of his high school career.

Wow. Dude was the Lauryn Hill of kickers.

in high school you have a # of factors helping. some wide open venues where the wind can really howl through aiding a kicker; less athletes capable of jumping up and blocking a kick, and coaches that dont want to risk a penalty; also, I think in many states a FG attempt that gets into the end zone automatically becomes a dead ball and spotted at the 20; so you’ll see a greater % of long distance attempts; but good for this kid; a really long kick is cool to see;

Dirk Borgognone’s record is from when kickers were allowed to kick fieldgoals off a tee, so this is MUCH more impressive.
