Special teams/kicking game.

[Vott]

I saw a lot of boxscores from quite a few high school games from the state this past weekend. One thing that stood out to me was the number of extra points being missed or teams who went for 2 every time. Do schools not have a special teams coach anymore or does the kicker snapper and holder not practice kicking fgs  the entire time while the other players are practicing?

Mississippi doesn’t utilize kickers enough. There is somebody walking the halls of every single school they can make a dang extra point. Our kicker kicked a 49 yarder this past Friday night that would have been good from 55

It’s been this way 3-4 years now. 
 

Not just in high school but even in college and nfl kicks that were routine 10 years ago been getting missed a lot.

Most head coaches talk the talk of the importance of special teams but never back it up in the schedule for practices. They'll spend an hour on offense and an hour on defense and then give special teams 10 minutes. If they are a true kicker they are usual left to kick on their own.

We have plenty quality place kickers up here in the north.

We’ve had some issues but a freshman came in for OG and beat Germantown at the buzzer so the future is bright.

Kicking on your own really doesn't help much. You need a snapper and holder to help with the kickers timing
