Key high school football game Friday features top two kickers
As high school football teams continue to jostle for playoff seeding, there’s an added feature to this week’s Bishop Manogue at Spanish Springs game. The two top kickers in the Class 5A-North will be facing off, Bishop Manogue’s Ryder Scarlett and Spanish Springs’ Kristian Andrus-Flores. The Cougars and Miners have battled for Class 5A-North supremacy the past several years, with the Cougars winning the Regional and State championships last season. Both Andrus-Flores and Scarlett played soccer before moving over to football, which could help explain their success. Scarlett has committed to play football for UNLV next season and Andrus-Flores, who also plays defensive back, is still weighing his college offers. He visited Idaho earlier this month and is planning to visit Montana Tech. Andrus-Flores honed his craft from former Nevada kicker Brandon Talton, who ran camps around Northern Nevada before moving to Texas. He also attended a camp put on by former NFL kicker Matt Prater. He said consistency is the key to being a good kicker. “It’s just you, the holder and snapper, and you guys are a team,” Andrus-Flores said. “If you get in your own head about it, it makes a difference. You’re calm. At DB (defensive
