SUMMARY: Local student-athlete Evan Noel, a kicker and punter for St. Sanis L, achieved an incredible feat by breaking a 30-year state record during the Rocket Charles game against Pas Chan. The five-star kicker successfully made a 61-yard field goal, surpassing the previous record of 59 yards set in 1994, and executed the kick with apparent ease. Already committed to Arkansas, Noel has received three offers, and his latest performance is likely to attract interest from many more teams.
