September 30, 2013
Cumming, GA - Georgia United Credit Union is excited to announce that Lambert High School is the third Forsyth County school to win $2,000 in this seasons "Kicks for Schools" football promotion (South and West are also on the schedule for later this fall and Central and North Forsyth have already won $2,000 each.) All high schools in Forsyth County have been invited to participate in a half-time field goal event to win money for their respective booster clubs.
Georgia United sponsors "Kicks for Schools" during football season to allow our Forsyth County home teams the opportunity to "kick to win" money for their school.� Lambert High School wisely selected Ninth Grader Nikolas Propes, a member of Longhorns freshman football team and UFA soccer participant, as their designated kicker.
The kicker is given four tries to kick a field goal from the 5 yard line, 10 yard line and two 20 yard kicks each distance has a corresponding monetary value. �The kicker can either kick three times from one distance or progress sequentially.� The maximum amount that the kicker can earn from their three kicks is $1,000.
After the students third attempt, regardless of whether or not he has made a field goal from any distance, he gets a chance to kick the "Money Ball".� If the kicker missed all three of their initial field goal attempts, the ball is placed on the 5 yard line.� If he makes the money ball kick, he gets $250.� If the kicker makes a field goal on any of their first three tries, the money kick takes place from the furthest distance.� If he makes the kick, Georgia United doubles the contribution to the school�(maximum payout per school is $2,000 which is the amount Lambert won).
