Ryan Bowen spent his final high school football season in Kentucky moving Elizabethtown’s offense through the air. On Saturday, he made college program history with his foot.
The former Elizabethtown quarterback connected on a 49-yard field goal for Bellarmine against Midway at Holy Cross High School in Louisville. According to Bellarmine’s game recap, the kick established the longest field goal in the Knights’ sprint football history.
Bellarmine celebrated the milestone by sharing a video of the kick on X, giving a former Kentucky high school player a moment in the spotlight.
