Thinking back to Barth's big kick
Posted Oct 5, 2007
Adrenaline resulting from the greatest moment of his football career forced Connor Barth's senses into overdrive. There was the sight of people rushing the field, the feel of teammate Jocques Dumas lifting him off the ground in celebration and the sound of the public address announcer asking fans to leave the collapsed goalposts inside Kenan Stadium. All of that augmented the sweet taste of victory.
