Remember When? Paul Steinke Record

   A little over 5 years ago,  a German exchange student decided to try American football and tried kicking for Rossville High.  Paul Steinke performed flawlessly from the first game and broke the existing Kansas high school record of 82 continuous PAT kicks.  He finished the year with over 100 consecutive kicks,  all in one year without a miss.  Oh, and he didn't miss any field goals either.

Here is a video about Paul:
