I think they should switch out goal posts and use high school ones. This could be accomplished fairly easily.

I'm not making any excuses. Just saying if the game was played on a HS field with HS regulations then Lake Taylor would be State Champs.Who cares PC ! Both teams played under same rules and if we were playing Pulaski and they had that opportunity the Pulaski coach would not make that excuse and 99.99 percent of time would have nailed it ! Ball Game !
That's true but the state championship has been played for years on college fields never been issue. Maybe contenders should prepare there kickers better. I know when amherst use to get big leads they would kick field goals instead of scoring to get kicker reps. An maybe high school should look at narrowing there's to prepare the kickers for next level.I'm not making any excuses.

Yep.. Go find someone on the soccer team if need be. I can't tell you how many games Salem has won over the 30+ years of watching them because of a good kicking game.Now that teams can practice year round, no excuse for a school not to have a good FG operation. Take Kicker, snapper and holder and have them practice year round. Send them to kicking camps also..
Most teams do not spend enough time on FGs. I have seen numerous JV teams that do not even try to kick extra points. They just line up and go for 2.
No offense to anyone, but some schools have girls who can kick.
It is irrelevant but I think that might have even clanked off of high school regulation posts.I'm not making any excuses. Just saying if the game was played on a HS field with HS regulations then Lake Taylor would be State Champs.
Amherst usually has good kickers. LT played there last year and knew about the goals so they should have been more preparedThat's true but the state championship has been played for years on college fields never been issue.

I think a few years back you had Tyler Dawson #14, he was an excellent Kicker. I saw him in the Benefit Game with LCA and a game at Northside. During HT he was kicking 50 yarders very accurately. I know he got a scholarship, but I can't remember where.Amherst usually has good kickers. LT played there last year and knew about the goals so they should have been more prepared

in 90's they had Mike Padgett who could hit some real long field goals. He came back after college an was the kicking coach when Abell was coach an far as I know is still around.I think a few years back you had Tyler Dawson #14, he was an excellent Kicker.

Porter Abell, Scott's son who played at Rockbridge, is now a WR at Richmond- very quick.
Actually, such a thing does already exist. I have seen them places, just not every where. I guess a better description for the ones I have seen would be interchangeable, not adjustable.I would think in this day and age they would make adjustable goal posts where the upright post could be moved in or out to accommadate any level of football.
Where talk 4ft 8in an additional 2ft 4in on each side. With the hash marks being narrower that should more than make up for that 2ft 4in. This was just a convenient excuse for someone to say they should have one.
Also if the shoe had been on the other foot I could not see coach mag or his staff saying or posting was has been said an posted by LT coach an staff.

Sure but someone said they had not made one all year so?Is it possible that they were prepared but just happened to miss the kick?
