Sam Hess kicks thirty yards to strike first in the Sectional Championship

Now with less than a minute to go in the first half, North is looking for a scoring opportunity. The ball bounces towards Sam Hess, and he loads up and fires a missile right into the back of the net. The deep shot from over 30 yards out breaks the scoreless tie and gives the Huskies the 1-0 lead heading into the break.

Let’s look again at Hess capitalizing on the kick. As the ball reaches his feet, he takes a moment to set himself up, then finds the opening for a great long kick into a goal. Naperville North would go on to remain undefeated and win the Sectional Championship against Central with a final score of 2-0.
