MOULTRIE – Colquitt County senior place-kicker Brett Fitzgerald made all five extra points Friday night at Mack Tharpe Stadium in the Packers’ game against the Lee County Trojans. His first kick of the night set a new Georgia high school record. A two-time MaxPreps All-American and younger brother of Florida State kicker Ryan Fitzgerald, Brett broke the state record with his 191st extra-point kick. He went on to add four more.

Brett is also eyeing two more records this season—most career field goals and most kicking points. His brother Ryan currently holds both records. Brett needs 14 more field goals and 16 more points to claim each title.
