My youngest brother Patton started playing football as a kicker for the Gadsden City Titans two years ago. He had never played on a football team before, but has always been very athletic. I remember after he came back from his first football tryout, he told me that he was going to do whatever it took to do his best on this team and get a college scholarship in his senior year. Patton really impressed every one with his athletic abilities, and the way he caught on to the whole "football" thing so well. He started as the kicker in his very fist game against Hoover, and kicked the winning field goal. It was at that point that I thought "wow! he might really be able to do this". Well today he proved that to everyone. He signind on as the kicker for Miles College in Birmingham, Alabama on almost a full scholarship.

We've been told by his coaches that in order for a kicker to be offered a scholarship with any college right out of highschool is very rare. Patton has proved himself to be one of the top kicker in the state of Alabama, and thus has had many different colleges interested in him. Congratulation Patton, for everything you've accomplished in the short two seasons that you've been with Gadsden City. We're so proud of you and can't wait to see what the future holds in store for you!
