Casey Barth earns validation by breaking his brother’s career FG record

Posted Sep 9, 2012
For Casey Barth, passing older brother Connor on North Carolina’s all-time career field goal list Saturday wasn’t about setting a record. It was about validation. “I think it’s good that I got to his record, because he’s a really good kicker,” Casey said after kicking his 54th and 55th career three-pointers in the Tar Heels’ 28-27 loss to Wake Forest.
