MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Under the glow only streetlights headlights with rain drizzling down, Kyle Ulbrich sets another football on the kickoff tee.
It's hours, at this point, after the high school sophomore didn't know how to squib it on the kickoff for Mentor High School's JV game that night against Strongsville. Ulbrich booted it instead, leading to two kickoff return touchdowns. Mentor lost 14-7.
But Ulbrich doesn't care about how long he'll be out there that night. He was not going to let that happen again.
On the other end of the field, his father Bobby, as he always is, is shagging his son's kicks.
