WASHINGTON, Jan. 12, 2007 Football fans across America got a sneak preview of the nations newest class of college stars at the seventh annual U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonios Alamodome on Jan. 6. But the brightest star of the game was Army Pvt. Josh Lucas, who took home $10,000 when he put a football through the uprights during an in-game promotion by USAA.
Lucas and his roommate, Pfc. William Herron, both assigned to Company C, 264th Medical Brigade, at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, were selected to compete against one another and be the first to kick a 30-yard field goal. Lucas booted the ball between the uprights on his second try and took home the $10,000 prize. However, Herron didnt go home empty handed; he walked off the field $3,000 richer, courtesy of USAA. |
Now that's a place kicker.
Sorry, Sand....I posted the big ping list to the wrong thread. The mods got it removed post haste. *sigh*
That's OK
