Taken For Granted
Often criticized as a
"pop-up" kicker, Jim's career
record of 57 extra points in 68
attempts should silence all
remarks. Besides having kicked
seven PATs in a game twice
during the games included in
the streak, Carrington has had
three four-for-four afternoons.
Only a recent low-power
offense prevented him from
earning the record earlier as he
was not even given the
opportunity to kick in five
shutout losses.
According to the Atlantic Photo By Rick Smith Kicking Consistency Has Made Him Player Of The Week
Coast Conference record book,
Jim Carrington Boots One Home Against W&M
for most extra points in a
season (26 in 1968) and for
PATs in a career at 57. His
third year season saw him
launch a perfect 13 for 13
PATs.
Gonzaga High School in
Alexandria takes credit for
producing the 6′2″, 180 pound
fourth yearman. At Gonzaga,
Jim earned All Metropolitan
D.C. and All Catholic honors
for football.
