What a kick!

Talk about a kick for the ages.

If a high school kicker ever made as big a kick as Kingston's Korey Jubie made, I'd like to know who it is. Jubie kicked what-still-seems-like-an-incredible 49-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter that gave Kingston a 3-0 victory over arch-rival Newburgh.

Kicking a 49-yard field goal is tough enough — even for the pros. To do it in Newburgh is that much more difficult.

Oh, and did I forget that with the victory, Kingston qualified for the Section 9, Class AA playoffs.

There were many heroes for Kingston in the win. You could take the entire Tigers' defense, considering Newburgh seemingly spent most of the game in Kingston territory only to be shut out.

In the end, it was the kicker that made the difference. Jubie's field goal was two yards short of the all-time Section 9 record. I wonder if that 51-yarder had as much riding on it?
