Central Valley High’s Austin Rehkow drilled the kick, with distance to spare, to tie the game at 55 as regulation expired Thursday night. Central Valley went on to beat Shadle Park High 62-55 in overtime.
Rehkow’s field goal set a Washington state record. The previous mark was 62 yards set in 1929.
