Kobe Guardado seems to one of the few rare kids that can come up with the big kick, along of the lines of what we have been seeing this school year…What we saw tonight, was a perfect kick by Guardado that sailed through the uprights from around 27 yards out, and this Guardado kick gave Northern Guilford the 27-24 victory over the Page Pirates…
