In my 4 years our kickers were strictly kickers....with the exception of our punter one year who also was a receiver. I always love the big OL guys that kick in High School games. Its the closest most will ever come to touching the ball or scoring a point. I guess a TE would be the next best thing at the college level.

Did Lang convert to TE this season or last? If I remember correctly, he was a WR/K when he first came to Cortland.

I am pretty sure that this is the first year that he has played tight end here. He is another local product (Dryden) making good; joining the likes of Robison (Groton) last year, Guaragno (Lansing) currently, as well as the Pitcher brothers (Cortland) over the next couple years.

An interesting stat from last weekend's Cortland-Kean game that I didn't really take notice of until somebody pointed it out to me today. Cortland kicker/tight end Jeffrey Lang recorded a touchdown, a field goal, a two-point conversion and three PAT kicks in the game. He is the first player at Cortland since at least 1964 to register each of those four stats in the same game (in fact, no Cortland player has even had a TD, FG, 2-pt conv. and PAT kick in the same season, let alone one game).

The records I have here only go back to 1964, so I have to eventually check archives for games from 1958-63 to see if Lang is the only Cortland player ever to record all four of those scoring plays in a game (the NCAA started two-point conversions in 1958).

Anyone know of someone else doing this over the years? I assume this is pretty rare (and, yes, somewhat trivial).

Pep would need to check but AU's Jesse Raynor was the Saxons' Renaissance Man who very well could have performed that feat.

But, after checking, Raynor, who was featured on the old ESPN "Hidden Video" in the Saxons' 34-26 loss to St. John Fisher to open the 2002 season, rushed for 115 yards and three touchdowns, caught 11 passes for 86 yards, returned four kicks for 165 yards (including an 85-yarder) , booted two field goals and blocked a punt. He missed a PAT.

That NFA kicker was money in High School. Corrado was his name. Newburgh is in the Section that I coach in and he was a real weapon. Multiple 40+ yard kicks and almost automatic from the 30 on in.

Corrado is a freshman and I suspect will take over kicking duties next year. Hard to beat out Lang as a Sr. He has quite a leg.

X, you coach at Kingston? That's my neck of the woods. In fact the KHS lacrosse coach was my high school physics teacher down the road.

Caz,
Kingston is currently the spot for me right now. You a Rondout guy? Talking about kickers.....Monroe's kid, Boyle hit his 65th consecutive PAT last night against us in a romp. Should be a great MSG game in 2 weeks when Newburgh plays Monroe.

Rowan over Brockport 37-20 F
Montclair over William Paterson 14-13 F

XREDDRAGON77 · October 04, 2008, 05:04:21 PM

Congrats to Cortland on your 4th straight win. Even though Brockport is winless, they are like Kryptonite to Cortland even in their down years. Montclair squeezed one out of the Willy Pumpkins and it looked like Kean rolled.

That is correct although I don't live in the area anymore. I don't really follow local HS football anymore but it doesn't surprise me that NFA and M-W are still the class of the region.

Cortland seems to be rolling along.

I don't know if you can say Kean rolled when they needed to come back from a 17-10 4th quarter deficit — score the go ahead TD with under 3 minutes left — and score a touchdown on the last play of the game via a 62 yard interception return.

More like a game TCNJ blew than one Kean rolled on.

Montclair - 14 Willy P. - 13

Well we had the good, the bad and the ugly. The "O" was ugly the 1st half, the "O" was bad the 3rd quarter, and the good was the "D" for the entire game and the "O" in the 4th quarter. I think we may have found a QB in Boysen. He was mobile, good arm and had good presence in the pocket. We may have found something here. We will be traveling undefeated into Cortland, who will move up in the D3 Rankings from #15. We will have to be perfect to have any chance, but who thunk Hartwick would beat Fisher at their place. Work hard this week boys and let's see what happens. See ya in Cortland !!!
