Think this kid has a future in the NFL? - Flock of Moosen - 09-28-2003
This is some feat considering it was done by a high-schooler.
Quote: Wilkes-Barre, PA -- Bishop Hoban senior Gerry McGroarty kicked a 64-yard field goal Saturday -- a new state record that is longer than the NFL's longest field goal.
McGroarty's previous long had been 54 yards. Today's kick, on the last play of a 52-to-0 win over Bishop Hafey, easily cleared the uprights.
McGroarty says he's never kicked that far in practice. He says he just used the same motion he would for a shorter kick.
The feat bests the record 58-yard kick set last year by Matt Domonkos of Johnstown's Bishop McDevitt High School.
The national high school record of 68 yards by a Nevada player in 1985.
Jason Elam and Tom Dempsey share the NFL record of 63 yards.
McGroarty hasn't committed to a college.
Granted it isn't the longest ever in high school, but considering it's still longer than any field goal ever in the NFL I'd say he may have a shot at the big time.

reguardless if he's good or not, if I could kick a ball that far i'd try my luck at the NFL, of course, I'd have to go through a few years of college first thanks to that shitty rule.
