As the playoffs reach the Section Championship rounds, it's always fun to see what teams continue to stay strong, and what teams make surprise upsets.
Last week all remaining Minnesota teams were playing for a berth at the State Tournament. There were a lot of tight and high scoring games. One kicker in particular had a big game for his team. Dean Lumb of Osseo HS (Class 6A) spent a lot of time on the field. He hit 8 for 8 on PATs for a total of 8 points for his team. Osseo is having a very good season and is currently 7-3 entering the state tournament.
The Top Punter was Mac Brown of St Thomas Academy (Class 5A) who had a great all around game. Mac booted 4 punts for 192 total yards and a 48 yard average. He kicked 3 PATs, had 5 kickoffs including two touch backs. He also rushed for 1 touchdown. On a side note: STA recovered a fumble on one of the punts and also recovered a fumble on a kick off. St Thomas Academy is also having a great season so far and is 9-1 enter the state tournament.
The top Out of State STFA trained Specialist is Cameron Hausman of New Richmond HS (WI). He's had a recent surge of big game performances. This week he converted 5 for 5 on PATs and 1 field goal of 32 yards. He also kicked 3 touchbacks.
This week we name 2 STFA trained collegiate athletes for our kickers of the week. Nathan Mesher of Wilfrid Laurier University (Canada) had another multi field goal game he kicked 5 PATs and 4 total field goals and 17 points for his team. Joe Tjosvold of MSU Moorhead went 3 for 3 on PATs and kicked 3 field goals of 39, 19 and 29 yards for 12 points
Congrats to everyone who earned a spot this week on their big kicking performances! Good luck to everyone still in their state playoff runs.
