According to documented sources, the longest high school football field goal was 68 yards by Dirk Borgognone of Reno, NV in 1985. (There is an undocumented 70-yard kick which would be the longest in any US football venue.) In 1971 John Woodward of Elk Grove H.S. in California kicked a 67 yard field goal vs. Grant H.S. in Sacramento California. In 1999, Rusty Curry of Duluth H.S. in Georgia, kicked a 67 yard field goal vs Norcross H.S. which came off a free kick after a fair catch. In 2012, Austin Rehkow of Central Valley High (Washington) also kicked a 67 yard field goal, sending their game against Sadle Park High into overtime, where Central Valley eventually won.
The basic aim of football is for your team to gain possession of the football and to kick it into the end zone.
