8th grade kicker

[Alabama Larry in Ky]

Finished the season 16-20 on extra point tries, needs to work on leg strenth and kick offs. Head Coach at the local school wants to see tape on him and the Freshmen team of the school always goes for two, they have no kicker, so he might be able to kick for the Frosh and JVs next season.

He loves the way Cade kicks off and covers downfield.

His four misses there was two high snaps and one penalty where he was a yard short.

Great to hear Larry, I think Jonah has a bright future,the camps you mentioned yesterday ought to help a lot. It'll be be interesting to watch him grow and improve. Keep us updated! :smile:

Was he the same Peter Kim who was from Korea, Alabama as CPB used to say?:? :cool2:

Peter Kim is an American who was born in Korea and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii.

He is now 5'7", Starting Freshman kicker. Has hit 13-16 with three games to play. Increased his range to 30 yards. Also kicks off but at this level they love to squib it down the field. Hhas three more years to grow and get stronger. Uses a two step drop and there is no curve to worry about. His misses were hold/snap problems. The team is 5-0 and are very good.

He wears #43.

Not trying to take anything away from this kid, but we have a kid here in town who is pretty good as well. He is a freshman, but he dresses out for the varsity as well. He could be starting for them, but the current starter is a senior. His long is 45 yards. Not bad for a freshman in high school. He has missed a few kicks this year but not many. He went to the Nick Saban Kicking Camp and was named one of the top kickers there.

Hit two extra points against a very strong private school, this school beat Trinity Freshmen last week, Trinity is ranked nation wide in the top Three. His team was down 13-0 at the half and tied it with 2 minutes to go, and he drilled the point.. Hitting from 40 is sweet, but hitting when your team needs it the most is sweeter. 14-17, not counting the snaps/holds.

Still needs to grow, but can a very good two step drop and works very hard, will only improve. Has hit 40 in practice.
