“There was no doubt that it was going in. It was the best kick that I had ever kicked, going right down the middle the entire way,” Cantele said. “I have to say I have been ready for this my whole life. Everything up to this point has been getting me ready for this. All other thoughts have to be out of your head by then.”
Quarterback Jake Waterssaid that he was confident Cantele was going to make it,”I knew he was going to make it. I’ve seen him make it in practice a bunch of times. Thinking back I didn’t have any doubt in my mind that Jack wasn’t going to come through and he did.”
