High school kicker should make Jay Feely feel bad

Suddenly Jay Feely’s 61-yard field goal that tied the game against Buffalo last Sunday seems like a chip shot.
Austin Rehkow, a sophomore kicker for Central Valley High School in Spokane, Washington, booted a 67-yard kick through the uprights to tie his team’s game with Shadle Park High School in the final seconds.
Apparently it’s a new state record, as the previous long was a measly 62 yards. Sadly, though, this is not a high school football record, which was set when Dirk Borgognone of Reno, Nevada made good on a 68-yard attempt in 1985.
