Reid Taubenheim- Farmington High School- Reid is Minnesota’s Top Kicker.  He kicks consistent deep touchbacks as well as averages close to 3.7-4.0 second hang times consistently.  He is a deep threat and accurate field goal kicker which gives his team greater offensive scoring opportunities.  He has great technique and mechanics which makes him 'college ready.'  He is on the radar of many Division 1 football programs already.

He is one of the hardest working kickers I have seen and will only keep getting better. 

Clay Elmore- Wayzata High School- Clay has a special kicking talent.  He earned the starting field goal spot as a Sophomore at Wayzata.  He handles game pressure very well.  His strong leg gives him a 50+ yard field goal range and also the ability to drive multiple touchbacks.  He recently kicked the game winning field goal in double OT against a top football program this season.

Coach Husbys Kickers Reach State Tournament

When the regular Football Season ends, the playoff runs begin.  This is a time that many athletes dream and train for.  A chance to see if their personal and team's training and season momentum can carry them into a deep playoff run.  The Minnesota & Wisconsin High School Football season ended a few weeks ago and many of the teams competed for a chance at the state tournament.  As a coach, Chris Husby and his staff's ultimate goal is to help put their athletes in a position to achieve their personal and team goals.  This year was a great year.  Many of the athletes they helped train made it to the Section Playoff Championship Game, and even advance to the State playoffs.  Kickers and punters that Coach Husby and his staff has helped train have continued to perform at a high level and help their team advance far into the playoffs.
