Kaneland Kicker gives Knights added dimension

MAPLE PARK – Last season, Kaneland kicker Matt Rodriguez kicked a field goal in practice, step 10 yards back and try another.

One day, he ended up getting all the way to his own 47-yard line, and booting a 63-yard field goal, the equivalent of the NFL record.

“This year, [Kaneland coach Tom Federly] knows I can kick it, so we never even went that far,” Rodriguez said.

What do you think of people using fireworks near their homes?

That shouldn't be tolerated. It's dangerous.
I'd never do it, but I'll watch others.
It's OK so long as the fireworks are legal.
It's not a problem. It's just a way to celebrate.
I have no opinion.
