Kid breaks NFL record field goal

[insane]

Student nails 67-YARD field goal - shattering NFL record of 63 - and he's only in high school Austin Rehkow, 17, a senior at Central Valley High School in Washington state, broke the NFL record for a field goal

[Enigma]

wouldn't he have to be in the NFL to break the record officially? like, he may have broken the record for the longest field goal, but aren't they two separate records?

[Stoopid Dog]

Thats pretty decent seeming that NFL kickers can only land like 50 yards or so.

[sTr]

he'll be in the nfl now because of that kick....

[insane]

it is a seperate record and still not the record for the longest field goal ever which was 68

[Enigma]

which league managed to get that goal?

[sTr]

!'m pretty sure college

Here is the 68 yard one

PORT ST. LUCIE — Fabrizio Scaccia had to beg St. Lucie coach Bob Simmons to let him attempt a 68-yard field goal in a close Florida Football Alliance game against Brevard on Saturday.

Simmons' decision to let the St. Lucie West Centennial graduate kick it resulted in the second longest field goal ever made — a yard off the record — and helped push St. Lucie to a 10-0 regular-season finish.

"(Simmons) wanted to punt the ball away, but I told him I wanted to try it," Scaccia said. "At first he said no because we were only up 10 points at the time. I told him I could do it, and he looked at me for like 10 seconds, and yelled out field goal. I thought, I can't let him down now.

"I went out there, kicked it and it would have gone for 75. I crushed it right down the middle. ... It's crazy. I still can't believe I made it."
