This is pretty amazing. Watch Central Valley High School’s Austin Rehkow makes a 67-yard field goal with two seconds left on the clock to send the game to overtime:

Austin’s team would go on to win the game in overtime.
If you need a little perspective on just how amazing that kick was, the NFL record for longest field goal is 63 yards.

I remember Tom Dempsey’s kick in 1970
And this is a High School Kicker!
Amazing, That beats my 25 yarder.
Where is this high school?
The NFL teams have probably already called him. He’s probably already has a sports agent. This was truly spectacular.

Another interesting thing lost in all the hoopla: The opposing quarterback from Shadle Park High School in Spokane, Wash. threw for 577 yards and broke the state record for passing yards in a game and the league record for passing yards in a single season. Brett Rypien is the nephew of NFL quarterback/Super Bowl MVP Mark Rypien, also a Shadle Park alum and is only a SOPHOMORE.
I believe I read that he is a Mormon. Just sayin......
Bring him to the Redskins...NOW!!!
Yes. Didn’t the officials believe that the flat front end of the boot helped him?
ROFLMAO!
Ah! I well remember Lou Groza, and the rumor that he had a brick in the toe of his kickin’ shoe!
