VHS Cheer Coach Ann Michelle Toole said, "We look forward to see ing our future Indians this Friday night!" con County. This week VHS hosted Swainsboro on Tuesday after presstime. They will play next on Thursday at home against cross county rival Toombs County with the first pitch at 5:45 p.m. Loran continued from page IB Spike is next in that cat egory with 12 in the Auburn game of 1969. Spike (1968) and the late Don Golden (1972) hold the record for punt ing yards in a season with 3,092 yards. Perhaps, a case could be made for Bobby Walden, a specialist who was capable of exception al stardom at halfback, as Georgia most talented punter. He was such a versatile player in Cairo that Tennessee recruited him to play tailback in the Vols’ single wing sys tem. With the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian League, before his NFL career began, he led the team in punting, rushing and receiving. In a 14-year NFL ca reer, briefly with the Vi kings, and later with the Steelers, he set multiple records for Pittsburgh and was the punter for the winning Super Bowl teams of 1974/75. He had thunder in his foot and still holds the record for punting average for a game: 63.0-yard aver age with three kicks for 189 yards versus Texas at Austin in 1958. Golden, one of the many successful quar terbacks out of Valdosta, had a classic leg swing through the ball. He looked like Tom Weis- kopf swinging a driver in his prime. You see Gold en’s name listed in nu merous punting records in the Bulldog football media guide. Another punter with frequent references in the record book is Drew Butler, who holds the record for punting average in a sea son with 48.1 in 2009. The mark for punting yards for a career belongs to the laid back Gordon Ely-Kelso, who would get the highest of marks for consistency. His record for career punting yard age is an amazing 9,140 and is likely to stand for a while. Carmarda, from Nor- cross, is 6-2,180, with three varsity letters. He punted for an average of 57.7 yards versus South Carolina in 2019. He is a Ray Guy Award final ist; he is the holder for placement kicks unless he is kicking off himself, which he did for the last seven games last year. He has always been a dedicated weight lifter, avidly following the pro tocols for his position and attributes that for his leg strength. He has constantly practiced his drop. When he was a lifeguard in the summer and there was weather warming, he would go practice his drop. He has always underscored fun damentals, stressing the basics for competency and improvement. Entering the season, Camarda holds two re cords: net putting for a career with 40.8 and punting average for a ca reer with 45.5. He is in second and third place in “net punting for a sea son.” He is enjoying a sen sational ride, with high fives from every direc tion. And don’t forget this. He could be some where in the NFL as we speak.
