High school senior hits a 67-yarder.
I especially like the colorful coverage in the London Daily News:
A YouTube captured the record-breaking kick in all of its glory, as the referees raised their hands to signify the kick was good, and the team erupted in celebration.
The 67-yard kick is one of the longest in history, beating the NFL record of 63 yards, which is currently held by four players. Mr. Rehkow is not just a gridiron guru in kicking the ball - he can also catch it –doubling as a wide receiver on the field.
In addition, football’s not his only game, as Mr Rehkow plays for the Central Valley basketball team when football season is over.
But as amazing as the kick is, it’s not even the longest at his level. The high school mark belongs to Dirk Borgognone, who kicked a 68-yarder while a student at Reno High School in 1985.
Four players have reached the 63-yard milestone in the NFL, but none have broken it.
