Cairo’s Noah Jones Kicking it to the Top
The job of the kicker and punter on a football team can be a thankless one. They are thrust into the game for fleeting moments, only when their names are called to go out and do the job, which usually consists of one play, one kick or punt. Then, its right back to the sidelines until their numbers and names are called again. It can be a lot tougher job than it sounds.
Many times, the job of the kicker is to go out and attempt that long field goal to win the game for his team. In those scenarios, the kicker has the chance to be a hero or a very lonely guy. ‘Tis the life of a kicker.
No one knows this feeling better than Cairo’s Noah Jones. The Syrupmaker senior handles both kicking and punting chores for his football team and has been quite the weapon during his high school career. Jones is currently ranked as the No. 1 senior punter prospect in the country by Kohl’s Kicking, the premier ranking organization for kickers and punters nationally. Head coach Steve DeVoursney, who has been a head coach in Georgia since 2001 and has coached a lot of kickers, heaps a lot of praise on his kicker and punter.
