Barth family relives winning kicks

Posted Oct 31, 2009
One of the first people Casey Barth called after booting his 21-yard game-winning field goal at No. 14 Virginia Tech on Thursday night was his older brother, Connor. "He said he was proud that I got one," UNC's sophomore kicker said. Connor, now an NFL free agent who was working out for New England at the time of his younger brother's kick, knew that from experience. (Charlotte Observer)
