Jonathan Kilgo of Gadsden City is shown kicking an AHSAA state-record 92-yard punt in the Titans’ recent game with Park Crossing. He had two kicks for a 66.5 average in the game, also a state record. He also had 67-yarder in another game this season. For his career he has 60 punts for 2,484 yards and a 41.4-yard average and is 15-of-19 on field goals with a long of 46. Jon also rolled a perfect 300 game in the 2016 AHSAA state bowling championships, the only perfect game in AHSAA state tournament history. The 92-yard punt ties nationally as fifth beat all-time. Five others have accomplished that feat with Jack Rogers of Frankton (IN) kicking a 92-yarder in 2016. The national record is 99 yards, held by three kickers but first accomplished by Walter Williams of Mesa HS (Arizona) in 1925.
Thanks to Coach Renza Avery for providing the attached video.

By Daniel Boyette, al.com Huntsville City Councilman Mark Russell will return to the scene of his recent heart attack Friday. Russell, who collapsed while refereeing a game at Madison Academy on Aug.25, will perform the coin toss for the Mustangs’ home contest against Madison County. Madison Academy will recognize Russell before the coin toss, which is set for approximately 6:55 p.m. at Bill Washington Stadium in Huntsville. The game kicks off at 7. Russell suffered a heart attack at the 10:22 mark of the second quarter during the Mustangs’ game against McCallie (Tenn.). Paulette Berryman, Madison Academy’s photographer and a cardiac care nurse at Huntsville Hospital, started chest compressions to revive Russell. He was treated for 20 minutes before being transferred to Huntsville Hospital. Russell received a stent to treat a blocked artery. He was released from the hospital the following Monday.
