Kyle Koontz kicks 30-yard field goal in junior high game

Bluffton's Junior High football team defeated Ada 45 to 8 on Oct. 8. A highlight of the game was that Kyle Koontz kicked his first official 30-yard field goal.

Needless to day, Kyle, the team and the crowd were very excited to watch a junior high player achieve this.

This feat is a team effort, as it takes consistent blockers to allow a kicker time to focus on his part of the play.
