Berks Sports Report Paul Roberts
Berks County has become known for producing quality high school kickers. There’s a really good one in Birdsboro this season. Nate Millard nailed a 46-yard field goal at Garden Spot in Week 3. That kick tied the school record. He told me that he made a 60-yard field goal in practice! Millard explained how he prepares for a long attempt. He also talked about the difference between kicking on grass and turf. I asked Millard if kickers deserve more respect. He gave a very thoughtful answer. The 5’10 senior was a second team All-County punter last year. He’s looking forward to taking on Gov. Mifflin this Friday night in Shillington. The Mustangs are the top-ranked team in the state in Class 5A. I also learned who Millard’s favorite teachers are at Daniel Boone. His favorite class may surprise you.
