In your opinion who is the best kicker in the sate? West? East?
If anyone has any stats on kickers,l please share.

Minot's Ben Love is quite the kicker, he hasn't missed a single kick this year. I believe his longest is in the range of 32 yards? Not to bad! -Side Note- I heard he is being scouted from my local Minot connections.

Jacob Weiler (Fargo South)...I know he made a school record 52 yard FG in a game vs. Fargo North earlier this season (also made a 41 yarder in that same game).

There is a kid from Century high School named Dominic Neameyer that booted one from 41 or so earlier this year. I believe he has kicked a couple shorter ones as well.

Dickinson has a pretty good kicker. He made a 30 and 36 harder against century and he is only a sophmore

Run, would you really consider Weiler one of the best? He doesn't even kick the extra points for his team. He does have a really strong leg I'll give him that, but then you have to give his brother Josh some credit because he stole the PAT job from Jake. Century's Neameyer won the Minot-Century game with a 41 yarder with no time left after missing a 36 yarder short earlier in the game. He's pretty good.

Also in the century - minot game, ben love kicked two and boomed them through the uprights. Neameyer's 36 yard attempt was short by ten yards

I heard Ben Love has made some from 50+ in Practice. I know, I know, you'll say it's just practice. My point is, once and a while he misses wide, but very rarely misses short. Also, most of his kickoffs are touchbacks. You have to take that into account.

I agree with MHSmagi here, i dont think you can be called an elite kicker if you only do long field goals. His short attempts must travel low to the ground and are easy to block?

What is an elite kicker than? In the NFL no one praises the 20-30 yard kickers.

An elite kicker has a high percentage.
